This is a little off topic, I know, but I'm writing a paper about the 
work we've done on an encrypting sendmail (I'll announce details as soon 
as it restabilises, but if anyone wants to see the old version it's at 
http://www.home.aone.net.au/qualcomm ). For part of this, I wanted to 
refer to the incident where someone mounted a password sniffer at a major 
network hub (MAE-West?) a couple of years ago. But I haven't turned up 
anything useful in a Web search. I didn't dream this incident, did I? 
Does anyone have any references?

thanks,
Greg.
