Nothing wrong with telnet in a firewalled environment, unless you are
worried about your users. OpenSSH has had a much more checkered security
history in the past few months. Recently: the issue last week with
multiple channels, then the zlib issue announced yesterday. Two upgrades
in one week for security issues! Now which protocol is the bigger security
threat? Think the answer is equivocal at this time.
