I might be missing something here, but after being beaten by crackers who simply put a password sniffer on one of my Debian machines, I'd strongly recommand the Debian leaders to reconsider the policy of plain ftp and telnet. In the least you should consider using SSLtelnet and SSLftp, if you insist on an alternative for ssh. I'd also like to recommand that all passwords on master shall be replaced if and when you disable plain ftp and telnet. With plain passwords allowed to fly in the direction of master, ssh is useless, as one can simply find the password from other sources and use it to login.
