At present it seems to me that unix machines on the internet are intrinsicly insecure -- the methods used to secure them are a collection of ad hoc patches. For example all unix machines are vulnerable to the trojan horse attack.
Actually, I don't believe that HFS's B3 Unix is vulnerable to this. And I understand that it is not available in a shrinkwrap version for the '486. I do not know if it is a restricted purchase item, though. I know it can't be exported with out license. On the other hand, it's also multi-K$. :-(
