In a word, no. Once they have telnet and/or ssh access, they can grab
your passwd file or any other file that their account has read access
to. They can fill your /tmp or /var/tmp directories, perhaps stopping
your system from doing other things that you planned on it doing (like
support your own work or e-mail).
