You could get rid of telnetd completely with something like dpkg --purge telnetd telnet's a separate package, so you'd still have the client if you did that. (I assume you'd want to keep that.) Yes, the ssh package sets up easily for me. The main choice is just whether or not you want to run sshd, which you probably do. -- Mark
