Well, kinda :) If you take the time to learn more about it, you'll be able
to set up a more secure system. Have you seen the
http://www.obfuscation.org/ipf/ site? It's an excellent tutorial that will
teach you the basics of firewalling.

There is. Do you know about the package system? Check out
http://www.mclink.it/personal/MG2508/nbsdeng/chap-pack.html (which is
linked from www.netbsd.org/Documentation, it's part of The NetBSD Guide).
Also check out http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/software/ where you can
see software packages indexed by category (can someone chime in here about
how to see the file in your browser, you have to add a :anonymous to the
end of the url or something). You'll be able to find the editors people
pointed you to in the package system.
