    My company's sysadmins use Timbuktu to access their Windows servers.
    If they use NTLM authentication with Timbuktu, it would seem they're
    secure to that point. But when they login to Windows, I would guess those
    keystrokes could be sniffed off the network. Has anyone looked closely
    enough at Timbuktu to know if that's true?

    So if I wanted to improve this scenario, I'm thinking we could use two-
    factor authentication or some sort of secure tunnel. VPN might not be
    a big win since this traffic is all internal.

    Would like to hear what strategy others are using to provide secure access
    to Windows servers?

    Thanks!
