Nathan,
You will also find more verbose details in the doc located on
www.rpm.org. RPM at Idle, and definitely Maximum RPM, have more
details on specifics of RPM building. I know I have found excellent
details on diff, as it applies to RPM building specifically, there.

Probably (make that definitely) a better approach is leave the config alone,

The best approach, of course, is to use SSH, not telnet.
Neither of those involve major compromises to security or any change to the

Just a suggestion.
