ResComp has some information on our security-focused BeSecure web site
<http://www.rescomp.berkeley.edu/besecure/>. We also have a "Secure Your
Windows 2000/XP Computer" and "Using a Wireless Access Point" infosheet
<http://www.rescomp.berkeley.edu/resources/infosheets/>

The BeSecure web site is being updated soon (after the dust settles).
Comments and suggestions are much appreciated.
