Re: telnetd vulnerability from BUGTRAQ
In the non-unix world, telnet is still a necessity :(
Yes, I have putty on *my* windows boxen... But there are still
significant numbers of boxes that I use - MVS/VM (z/OS), W2k, etc.
that require me to allow directed telnet to my laptop/workstation.
Just because there is a H2 on the block, doesn't mean that the original
VW bug is now no longer needed...

Linux supports the notion of a command line or a shell for the same reason
that only children read books with only pictures in them. Language, be it
English or something else, is the only tool flexible enough to accomplish
a sufficiently broad range of tasks.
