In this context, I agree with the statements above (a public access kiosk should use SSH). However, telnet of itself remains a useful _client_, largely for accessing arbitrary services for testing. I would tend to support rooting out all instances of telnet _daemons_ (servers). However I don't see a great deal of harm in providing a telent client to informed users. Likely not those you'd find on a public access system. -- Karsten M. Self <[email protected]> http://kmself.home.netcom.com/ What part of "Gestalt" don't you understand?
