Particularly since telnet/rlogin are not enabled by default any more. The only remote login service that is enabled by default is ssh. I'm pretty sure I've already had a conversation with this project team about mDNS and ssh and the fact that it really doesn't make a lot of sense. Printing and NFS are much more interesting services than remote login shell services. -- Darren J Moffat
