getting rid of telnetd is almost always a very good idea.Quite so, as I suggested. Are there even any legitimate uses for running a telnet daemon any more? (That is a genuine question - as far as I can see, SSH is always a perfect replacement).How about, as a service to enable as you are updating SSH remotely from the other side of the country to fix the most recent problem security problem and need a backup system to get into the server in the event that something goes wrong?
I'd suggest that running a *second* SSH server on another port would be safer than running Telnet, in this context. Given that, in the above description, you're basically advocating that your *only* use of Telnet would be to send the root password across the 'net to troubleshoot SSH :-) Dave. - -- Dave Ewart Dave.Ewart () cancer org uk Computing Manager, Epidemiology Unit, Oxford Cancer Research UK PGP: CC70 1883 BD92 E665 B840 118B 6E94 2CFD 694D E370 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBQF0BbpQs/WlN43ARAgnkAKCiWJBtWmcxwQGf0eEGzhVwkgsXBwCg8/GA w0YF7vlE0TtRBsV/KWUZKNo= =hWtG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
