I have needed telnet-server a few times when trying to debug when connecting from network gear (no ssh in most). Also, where we allow shell access to web hosting customers, we still allow telnet (most of them are on Windows and it only includes a telnet client). Both telnet and rsh (client and server) are stable packages with few security issues historically. They are old protocols, but they do still have their uses. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
