Well, you took the extra effort to see if his host was exposed. Yet, that doesn't give insight to his case for needing it. I suppose I approach things a bit differently. In the case where I would see a person has exposed their system to a vulnerability I would ask them if they knew that to be the case and go from there. In any event, a package supplied with fedora "should" work and clearly telnet service doesn't. FWIW, the problem seems not to be in telnetd but actually in /usr/bin/login. -- Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.
