Most places I've worked do use a lot of encryption on the LAN. Not everything on the LAN is encrypted (e.g outgoing http connections) but a lot of things are. Trusting the whole network is a bad idea, since it allows a compromise of one machine to turn into a compromise of the whole LAN. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
