   No. They have perhaps three choices:

   1) learn to adminster their own network

   2) trust the admin

   3) explain to the admin what will happen to him if company confidential
      information is improperly disclosed.

   A combination of 2 and 3 is probably their best bet.

Then, depending on physical layout of your connections, worry about 
what happens when someone somewhere else on the net gets a copy
of some sort of sniffer program.
