SQL Login Password Encryption

Are SQL Server 2008 Logins (not integrated logins) passwords automatically
encrypted on the wire (I know they are on the hard drive) by default, or is
there a certain combinations of settings that must be used to have the
passwords encrypted on the wire.

If so, what settings.

Thanks. Ann

SQL Logins are always encrypted on the wire as of SQL Server 2005. From
