To be accurate, it's telnetd that is the big security risk. The telnet client can be used to connect to any service you like (though it's not much use if the service doesn't communicate in plain text). For all you know, he's running poppassd and connecting to that to change the password. Not that that would be very secure either. -- Bruce ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
