your question seems to narrow. Can you give us more details on your problem. OS? Are you runining ssh? telnet? Do give us as much possible information for us to help/advise.

Everything that is sent across the wire with telnet is in plain text. Including any passwords that you might have used to connect to the remove system.

I would suggest that you dump telnet in favor of Secure Shell (www.openssh.org). If you are connecting from a Win32 machine, putty is an excellent SSH client (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/).
