Much closer to "more" than "less" when speaking of the open Internet, and even most well-run internal networks. After all, telnet _is_ insecure; it is a fact, not an opinion. Some people or some situations may not need that security, or may not be physically able to support it (Cisco routers being one example); everyone else _should_ use SSH. >but if you insist >you'll need telnetd installed to set up a telnet server Note that the name of the package is "telnet-server". >as for an ftp server >i recommend proftpd >since i've heard that wu-ftpd is rather insecure Both wu-ftpd and proftpd have had their share of security problems. Both are reasonable options. For very fast, very secure FTP, use vsftpd (Very Secure FTPd) by Chris Evans. This is what Red Hat uses for at least some of their FTP servers, and most of the mirrors run it too. I'm sure you can find an RPM for it at www.rpmfind.net. -- Rodolfo J.
