It's only the telnet client that you'd use to test services, that's a simple installation. It's the telnet server that's a very bad idea (*) to have on a system. * There's no encryption over a telnet link, so logon credentials can be seen by anybody snooping the network. To use a telnet server, you log into it, so username and password are going to be sent unencrypted. But a telnet client can be used to test various servers that you don't log into, so it's safe to use as long as you think about what you send. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
