Agree 100%. It's just that I've been advocating telnet-server off and sshd on as factory default for awhile now; that kind of thing should be taken as far as possible. Leave the guy/gal telnet and telnet-server so they're available if needed; but don't make insecure choices when the more secure choice has no real downside. People configuring Cisco routers that only have telnet had better know enough to take care of themselves; they don't count! Newbies, if shown sshd and ssh instead of telnet, will use them interchangeably; so why not start them off on the right foot? -- Rodolfo J.
