Basically SSPI from a Win9x machine is about as secure as pserver (NTLMv1 is trivially crackable). Between NT machines though it's pretty secure. If you enable encryption then all the traffic is encrypted, although there's little documentation about what encryption is used so I couldn't say how secure it is - I guess it's pretty secure as I've never heard of anyone cracking it.
