But what I
originally stated still holds. Perhaps you don't have
plain-text ftp and telnet, but you have the ssh equivalents,
There is no ssh equivalent to telnet (the command). It sounds to me as
though you are thinking of telnet, the command, as nothing but an
interface to telnet, the remote login protocol. That is far from its
only use; indeed, these days, that isn't much of a use at all. I can't
recall the last time I saw a machine running a telnet daemon even on an
isolated intranet.
Actually, most of my systems on *this* isolated intranet run a telnetd. It's
inward facing, of course, but there's no reason for encryption on this
network when I'm the sole user.
