I understand the advantages of ssh over telnet, but telnet is still

Telnet is a horribly insecure protocol subject to at least two attacks
by third parties with access to any part of the network between the two
hosts. Thus, telnetd is gone for a damn good reason, that being that
it's a turd that has no place in a "secure by default" OS.
Maybe someone can make a port for insecure indentification for secured
system with telnetd.
Personnaly I don't use telnetd for ages especialy on systems that are
security based...
By the same is for rexecd / rshd.... :p
