Dear Microsoft,

I can find no documentation about the safety of the
password when remotely controlling a WinXP Pro pc, or a
W2K Server w/ terminal services remote admin mode.

I am told by colleagues that the password itself can be
picked up by a sniffer if someone has one running on the
Internet. They say that more preferable would be to have
a certificate like IPSEC does so that the password is
also encrypted, not just the session afterward.

Please clarify this issue for me, hopefully with some
official M$ documentation.

Sincerely,
