I myself is using telnet, do you think they can sniff my password??
security breaches were made by running exploitable daemons ...
in the first place how could they run a sniffer if they dont have access to
your servers?
I dont think you can use SSH only at all times, for instance you can't use
ssh on a router.
why would you put a host pc to console a router? do you think you have only
one router at one place?
Cant you have a secure telnet connection?
