Would someone be able to point me to some info on
security on an ethernet?

At work, we are going to be switching to a UNIX machine
soon, and I mentioned to my boss that we might take advantage
of the fact that our the campus ethernet is accessible
in most of our buildings, and stop stringing a twisted for
every new terminal.  He said he would rather not have our
computer on any ethernet.
I expect there are ways of limiting access so that only our
terminal servers are recognized, but am not sure.
Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks
