Management of devices is sometimes done thousands of miles away. Remember also that this traffic can be sniffed before it gets to the core (yes, ssh is sniffable aswell, but just not as easily, and atleast it's not in plaintext) > so thats my main logic, authentication... i cant understand the big > paranoia on people sniffing tho! unfortunately ssh is just as sniffable if it's an arp spoof, but hopefully it's not as easy for the naughty eavesdropper to get into the right position for that.... --Rob
