For instance, I would imagine that a machine sitting behind a very good firewall could have its pty's considered "secure", which would allow you to have all you machines on the local, behind-the-wall, network "open" to each other Usually, a "secure" line would be a leased line between two points, where the line is nice a shielded from any outside eavesdropping... which, nowadays, doesn't exist, does it?
