   That is because many networks rely on no passwords in order to work properly.    
   The problem is that people put that kind of stuff on the airwaves not   
   realizing that they are clueless about networking machines.  I've heard and   
   seen far too many horror stories regarding this very issue, especially   
   regarding wireless security stuff that offers diddley squat in the way of   
   actual security.  They make it harder on themselves and easier for the people   
   who take advantage of them.  As far as the machines go everything works as   
   advertised and can be a real plus to a well thought out network.  That doesn't   
   include wireless security cameras though.  That really boggles the imagination   
   as to why anyone would want that.  Same with keyboards, mice, etc.  Big   
   mistake methinks ... unless of course it doesn't matter about access which   
   sometimes it doesn't.  Depends on the situation I suppose and what is being   
   accessed and why.  For some things easy and open access is a desirable quality.   
      
   Life is good,
