Agreed. I think your correct we need to have some level of security ie:
we know who's running the redirector.
But whats to stop people from setting up a jabber servers and typing
tcpdump in a window next to it. Nothing.
Secuirty is a problem in ether approach.

That sounds like a major security problem to me, any one of those
redirectors would be able to snoop traffic and pick out passwords (I
think passwords are sent plain text in AIM/ICQ, is that correct?)
