That means it's just a password away from being bricked. I found if I setup the router's port80 for passthru to a webserver on my internal network (or maybe to some nonexistent box) then the config interface is no longer available to the outside world. This has nothing to do with RemoteAdmin, that "feature" just makes the box doubly insecure. Linksys routers' web config interface is available on port80 at both the internal & external address.
