If you want to replace hubs with switches, you're going to need to replace EVERY ONE! I don't know how many that is for you. If it's only POP3 & HTML passwords you're worried about, why not switch your mail server to a secure auth protocol. I think APOP does this (not sure) and use HTTPS on any web pages that have passwords? -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
