To a very large extent, this is crap.  Telnet can certainly be replaced
by SSH, but there is no good firewall-friendly alternative to wu-ftpd.
sftp_server and scp are *not* good alternatives due to their inability
to control access to the extent that wu-ftpd does.

Agreed.  You should know what you're doing before turning on *any*
services.
