Here I found the article I read that talks about it http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/04/16/upd...-over-the-wire/ Hopefully they've either fixed it or are working on it.

I love not have to uses a KVM to control all my computers at once. You also can copy and paste between desktops which is nice. Very true about sniffing packets because synergy has no built in encryption from my understanding. They could go with a simple encryption method but it would take time to develope and test so I guess they dont want to. Also Synergy is not a enterprise solution so their really is no need for encryption since it should be used on local network and for home based users. But its great
