I'm almost sure and dont' kill me if I'm wrong that ssh works above the
telnet protocol and not replacing it..
sperate between dissing the telnet protocl the telnetd and the telnet
client:)
maybe one day ssh would replace telnetd but meanwhile for comptibilty with
the rest of the world telnted is still needed not mention that sniffing
ssh isn't that impossible as you make it sound (altough I agree it is
safter than telnet)
