I heard rumours of security issues and network issues with Front Page can anyone verify this. Any help would be appreciated.

Running FrontPage extenstions on a Public Internet Facing web server is a very bad thing.

Using the extensions should only be allowed on intranet only accessible machines.

Since the biggest problem is with VRAD, which while not installed by default, most people make the mistake and install it anyways, despite the warnings.

My personal take, Don't run more things that you absolutely have to on public facing servers. If you can do your development on a back end server then push the contents out to the production server, that is optimal.

But if you must have FPSE installed, please do not run Visual InterDev Remote Application Deployment. Unless of course you want anyone to be able to connect to FP and install/modify content.
