But why you want such feature in normal machine.

We have SSH as best practice.
I think there is telnet over ssl too (never used).

Why you want shell acces to another machne over tcp?

If you are knowingly doing this, I am curious what kind of sitation
justify such thing?  Some kind of user-mode-linux etc?  Still, you can
use unsecure telnet.
