I should have been more concise when I worded my reply. I meant the telnet
daemon software (which I believe is the same as what you call the "telnet
service"). I believe the telnet client is a vital tool to have for the
particular use you mentioned, among others.
I also know that it is possible to use SSL-wrapped telnet daemons (tama
ba?) which allow normal telnet connections to go through SSL. I don't know
how secure this is. Maybe you (eric pareja) can expound on this? I'm sure
this would be nifty for those with boxes that have to connect to the
server shell remotely and don't have (or don't want to have to go through
the hassle of installing) SSH clients.
