Yeah, but where would this security be?  I don't find anything anywhere that
looks like security.  There are no system values that seem to be
appropriate, nor are there any settings in the line or in the TCP/IP
configuration.

This is an interesting statement.  None of my boxes "logs in to the
firewall", since I don't really have a firewall per se, just my router.  The
router is set up to pass packets from my 10. addresses out to the world as
if they were coming from my router (at least that's how I assume it's
happening).  That's just a "natural" part of the NAT processing, AFAIK.
