Safety

As the the telescope control system (see above) the same safety issue posed by the possibility to operate most of our (observing) systems at the mountain remotely is also present by commands to the rest of the observing system through the sequencer. After discussing this in some depth it was decided that the simplest solution was to install a separate firewall limited to all the computers in the observing system that would exclude any outside access and can be activate (and deactivated) when needed.
