Note that telnet is not secure. Unless your application or user has a specific need for telnet, TURN IT OFF.
Use ssh instead. It provides the same style of access plus a lot more features, and is secure, so your passwords aren¹t flying across the intra / internet as open text. Add to this X11 forwarding, secure intersystem copies (scp), intersystem data tunneling, passing single command lines to the server, and the ability to trade keys to avoid password prompting when performing batch-type routines, and ssh becomes the hammer of choice for system access. -- Robert P.
