Operating Systems Linux Ubuntu Ubuntu Server 810 Telnet ** I know its Bad.. But ** Post 302320698 by mark54g on Thursday 28th of May 2009 03:41:03 PM

If it is used remotely, why not install ssh on the box? You realize you can simply:

apt-get install ssh

Then, configure the sshd-config and be done with it


SSH does not need inetd/xinetd where telnet would. As such, telnet is VERY insecure, ESPECIALLY for remote management, as it would send your info through various routers in an unencrypted format.

I would seriously consider recommending some training or reading materials before you get your machine owned.
