They ask for mega-cool (and MEGA expensive) hardware commercial firewalls but keep on using telnet to access remote boxes (even using "root" or similarly privileges accounts).
Maybe customers just ask for what we are offering them, and there seems to be little market (in money terms) for SSH implementations, so they are told about the needs of "high-end" firewalls and IDS, but not warned about simpler, cheaper and more important things like not using telnet (or even r-commands).
