I've had this argument before in the Neuros OSD (LInux based PVR) mailing list. Basically, the "security argument" is ridiculous. Most pocket devices do not have CPU cycles to spare like a desktop. Thus, it's kinda ridiculous to do 3DES encryption to log-in to a local router or network device in the local LAN. If you can't trust your local home LAN, then you have biggest problems to begin with. So YES, Telnet is very useful for me to use on my home LAN with network centric devices (Axis print server, Intel InBusiness storage station, Maxtor NAS) that have telnet but no SSH available. Just my $0.02. FC _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
