..mmm - well of course ssh is more secure than telnet but
in a secure network (i.e. non public) with a need for telnet
access to a host by PCs there is an argument for telnet.
Of course ssh or openssh are the only viable options for
sessions over the net.
However within a domestic network, having regard to
the currency of password trading among (I could say)
all users at all sites - i.e. its a fact of life -
clear text isn't really an issue

ok - useful info.
I expect to upgrade to 7.1 over the weekend and I'll be interested
to see if RH has provided a list of changes comparing 7.0 to 7.1;
such is the only downside of a linux distribution : services
"disappear" for no documented reason.
