[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] Password transmission and encryptio

	The best and most common solution I know of is to have ``boring''
accounts that accept anonymous FTP (witness sri-nic et al.) so nobody
cares who listens in to passwords. :-) If it's worth protecting, it's
worth hiding from rlogin's and ftp and that sort of thing, isn't it?
