Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Telnet Daemon

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

A possible solution would be to install putty on a windows share
somewhere all the Windows desktops could run the problem.

I do admit to using telnet sometimes on a trusted internal network.
Mainly to connect to older routers and Unix boxes that don't have ssh
server installed, but never into a Linux box.

If deployed carefully, a telnet daemon is useful ( I often have a telnet daemon running somewhere in the LAN, that I can access, then ssh with keys from that host to other, more important servers.  Helpful at times when I am supporting desktops in situ, but need to access servers (for config changes/whatever)
