Well how about a challenge then,,,? try getting ssh round the firewall here, you have to telnet to the proxy server, before establishing a link to where ever by telnet, and what about the people who have to use unencripted protocols, just so gov. depts. can see what the're sending, even worse are some users of certain networks , who are some damn thick that telnet is rocket science to them. It may not be the best protocol to use , but its here to stay for a long time. The only thing I use it for is monitoring my machines at home, and that I dont need to login as root, so I never send a root password. telnet is just like women, a pain in the butt but it has its uses. enuf > -- Richard Bown Ericsson Microwave Systems AB SE-431 84 M�lndal e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] tel +46 31 74 72422 mobile +46 7098 72422
