Telnet is fundamentally insecure. We've known this for about 20 years. Finally, network switches, fibre switches, appliances, etc., have begun to recognize this truth. For example, the McData fibre switches give you the choice of telnet (evil) or ssh (good). Note that this is a choice between them...you cannot have both protocols enabled at once (at least not with the switch hardware and firmware rev I'm using). So, like a good sysadmin, I enable ssh on my McData Sphereon 4400. I can ssh into the switch and configure it via the command line. Happiness. Unfortunately, the fence_mcdata script assumes that the only way to connect to the switch is via (evil) telnet. Before I start hacking the fence_mcdata script...has anyone already modified this to make it more secure? If not, this would be a simple product enhancement (hint, hint).
