That is true.  pserver is basically unusable on a secure network - even 
if you alias the users the passwords for that are still basically 
plaintext so easily sniffable.

You're better off with sspi or sserver.  If using older clients that 
don't support those you may be able to get gserver working (with an 
active directory domain this isn't too hard but still requires fiddling).
