[ic] secure login

[interchange-users@icdevgroup.org (Greg Goble)]

Dear ICDEVGROUP,

Maybe this question has been asked before, but
I don't seem to find anything in the archives
nor can I remember it ever being asked, so here
it is:

If IC is designed to provide secure pages, why
is the admin login page and its directories also
not a secure function? 

Wouldn't this enhance the security through the
admin login? 

Is it possible to listen on the user id & pwd
through the admin login?

Any scoop on this subject and the issue of security
though the admin interface is always appreciated.

Thanks, Greg G.
