Not a bad idea. In the good old times, a firewall was enough to keep
"bad guys" out. But now you can find you're hosting some botnet zombies
on PCs that only had web access. And once a PC is a zombie, it's really
easy for an attacker to use it like you'd use a VPN server.
BTW, probably the botmaster will already have a valid share password
(stolen from the user), but if not he'll probably try to attack other
machines from LAN.
