Apparently I'm not the only "vapid linux fanboy".... It doesn't even have anything to do with linux. ssh is available for any unix. It wouldn't be ALL that hard to sniff telnet packets, considering they all go off of port 23.....
LeechWah! Wah!
In a perfect world... spammers would get caught, go to jail, and share a cell with many men who have enlarged their penises, taken Viagra and are looking for a new relationship.

Definitely a bad idea to be running telnet. As Byock so aptly put it, "I wouldn't even run telnet on my home lan" and neither do I.

Granted you COULD set it up to run on different ports, but if you don't know enough to use ssh, it's pretty likely that you're running telnet on port 23.
That seems a little odd to me. Unless you're doing very, very, short transmissions, the key exchange should be negligible. And ssh offers compression, so there's that. There is telnet over SSL authentication, but .....Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw.

The best and most secure way to save bandwith is to...take your car and go there...
If you want immense bandwith, take a big portable hard drive along too.
Note that you might get killed in a car accident too, but it's not the same kind of security we're talking about...

Either way, we're in agreement, Wombat. It makes no sense in this day of the Internet to use something that is as raw as Telnet is. It's not like the certificates are these huge 5mb files that have to be sent everytime...

Yeah, they'd rather have it so that somebody could just jack in a random computer and spy on everything.Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw. Running WinXP.
