You're still better off using SSH, since you suddenly have to trust those
users to never ever get infected by a trojan, install software that's been
infected or ever go bad, or install a tunnel like a VPN or AOL.  That's a
significant extension of trust that isn't necessary to extend since there
are better solutions than telnet (SSH, Telnet over SSL...)
