[Devil-linux-develop] Installing telnet.

[Bruce S. <bw...@ar...>]

With Friedrich on vacation, I'm helping Thomas Eder install telnet.

The feature request says "telnet _client_".  It doesn't mention 
anything about the telnet server.  The telnet package contains both.

Do we want/need the telnet _server_ (in.telnetd) on DL?  
Or client only?

Personally, I'd leave off the server, since it's so insecure 
(plain text password sent over the network).

Unless I hear otherwise, I'm only going to install the client.
(it's an easy fix to the script to include the server if I'm wrong)

That's my mistake.

IMO the client is enough.

OK, the telnet client has been uploaded.
