Well. Speaking of telnet, it does provide encryption AFAIK. Speaking of what is "better" and what is not, there is such a thing like "habit". If it does not require much effort to maintain it, better leave it as is. I personally often use telnet to connect to TCP-based services to test things, I need no encryption at all and I see no reason to switch to another tool (even if it is "better" in some sense). _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-head To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
