Again, its not for you. Its for those who want to try it for curiousity sake. Im not suggesting it you use it. Only for those who want to! > When SSH has so much more security features than plain > telnet over ssl? Comment lang kta dito.. "plain telnet over ssl" its not plain anymore when you put it over in the "secure socket layer" the traffic becomes more secure by encrypting it using SSL. Your passwords and the data you send will not go in cleartext over the line. Its simple, its like https. Or pop3 over ssl, stunnel. And this is your point. "Basically that is what ssh/d is designed for. So why use it?" My Answer, its not for you. Its for those who are interested to gain more experience rather than using those default packages. Whereas telnet over SSL is a workaround to make telnet act more like SSH. Thats your point of view, I have mine. And i respect yours, so respect mine. - Louie ----- Original Message ----- From: "ian sison (mailing list)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Philippine Linux Users Group Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2003 8:05 AM Subject: Re: [plug] Telnet Problem > On Tue, 16 Sep 2003, Louie Miranda wrote: > > > > Oh gee, the point is not the fact that sshd can or cannot be compromised. > > > You can do anything you like with software, as you so well know. > > > > My point also is you can also try telnet over ssl, please search the thread > > again. > > And you said its crap.. ? > > And my point is why even bother?
