Rob,
When a PC connects to System I A it is a client of System I A and System I A is the PC's host. Before the connection to System I A is made the PC is the host.
System I A wants to connect to Systemb. Before the connection is made System I A is the host and Systemb is the target.

Gary,
What do you mean by "host"? I really don't mean this as sarcasm.

Rob,
Nope. Are you blind?
I'm just amazed at responses seemingly disregarding host system security.
I just want to make sure I understand what is being said before I call
B***t.

Gary,
did your email reader chop this off from the bottom of Scott's message:

Scott,
By "to" machine do you mean the target system or the host system?

You should always secure the "to" machine. Securing the "from" machine
isn't even worthy of being called "security".
