Thank you so much for your replies!  This makes much more sense now.

I am currently running Snort.  I will examine its documentation to see if 
promiscuous mode is really necessary.  In the meantime, am I correct in 
assuming the only threat is from local users?  If so, currently all users are 
trusted so I shant panic just yet.

Thank you again for your help!
