Re: news story and router passwords

[Mark Teicher <mark.teicher () NETWORKICE COM>]

I'll agree and disagree with you..  If scaled to applicable dimensions,
telnetting to any number of routers over 100, seems a bit tedious.  Even
utilizing scripting language like Expect, TCL or TCL/Tk or any other
interactive scripts but one still needs to have a password at that
level.  What I was stating earlier that using SNMP one does not necessarily
need a password to gain access to a particular router  :)
