Re: telnet with root

[John Nichel]

So it doesn't really matter if you allow root to telnet in, if you're 
going to just su to root once you're logged in....password is passed in 
either case.  Maybe this is the reason that most sysadmins I know don't 
allow telnet for any account...only ssh.

Curious here....if I telnet into my system as a regular user, then su to
root, aren't I sending my password in plain text across the network?
