A firewall is only sufficient if you never let anything
cross it. It may stop things that you have not interest
in and did not ask for, but it will not stop something
hidden within something that you did want and ask
for (like a virus).
You are always best off keeping a system up to date
on released service, whether the system is from MS,
Sun, Red Hat, etc.
