Hidden sniffer on unplumb'ed interface on Solaris

After reading the following article (http://www.enteract.com/~robt/Docs/Howto/Sun/sniffer-trick.txt) by Rob Thomas, it was brought to my attention that a sniffer can be silently sitting on an unplumb'ed interface on Solaris. Not only is this dangerous for large networks, it is often hard to find. Has anyone ever contacted Sun about this potential problem...I'm fixing to try this on Solaris 8 to determine if the problem still exists. Robert
