May be removing the telnet daemon from the default install would be a
good security improvement! (:>
Ok, sorry that's a cheap shut, but even a box next to me on a switch
that can't even access the Internet, I use SSH. It's part of my blood
now.
and for other people that are used to site-wide kerberos, telnet is a
part of their blood. Stacken ACC uses sshd only on a few machines, the
rest speak telnet.
/ian, left the pitchfork at home
