Security hole?
Where is the security on your airport. Though your concern is valid, it's just something else people can do on your internal network. They can also sniff your traffic, looking for passwords.

I wish I had more faith in wireless security, but WEP is something of a joke, and since I have a mixture of newer and older hardware, I am pretty much stuck with it. WPA may be much stronger, but you are still placing all your faith in a single password to secure the entire LAN.
I would much rather see that second level of protection. In this day and age, even services restricted to a local network need to be properly authenticated. Thankfully, most of them already are. Even AppleShare no longer sends passwords in the clear. Printer and fax sharing are among the few hold-outs. While the former has some prank potential, the latter is downright dangerous. I have file a bug report with Apple over this, and it remains to be seen whether they add authentication under Tiger. If they can do it for iTunes music sharing (as if I care that the neighbours are tuning into my playlists), surely they can do for printer/fax sharing too.

Well you could use the built in radius auth client in the airport basestations... There's even a nice interface for setting it up <A HREF="http://www.carpestellarem.com/Products/StellarRADIUS.php">http://www.carpestellarem.com/Products/StellarRADIUS.php</A> |
