In recent weeks I have been recieving the concerns of faculty/staff of just
how secure thier password is when using NCSA telnet and/or an Aufs(CAP) server.
It is general knowledge that their password is being transmitted through the 
localtalk then kinetics box then UNIX machine.  My question is...just how 
secure is it?? How easy would it be for for a third party to "watch the 
password" go by.  I realize that everybody has a different idea of what 
"secure" is...any opinions/information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks...
