The "trust" issue is dead on, and that's the first advice I offered my client.

When I asked this question in a linux security group, one of the responses
suggested locking each port on the switch to a particular MAC address.

Since the existing switch is unmanaged, merely turning it off is an interesting
thought, particularly if I can devise a way for the client to do it remotely
(without traipsing off to the locked wiring closet).

Then again, maybe it's time I did my homework on managed switches....

My thanks to everyone for the good advice and suggestions.

Frank
