Hi Gurus,

We have a box running Tru64-Unix 5.0A and C2 security, in which our
e-mails are transferred to pc's through pop3 service. We are worried
about passwords being exposed in our subnet since we have detected the
presence of a sniffer that was installed by a hacker in a Linux machine.
Is there a simple solution to this? We have ssh installed but people
prefer to get their e-mails through Eudora, Outlook, etc., instead of
reading them in the workstation with pine or mail.

TIA,
