I agree, but it's taken this long to get everyone to agree that it's 
time to kill TELNET. ;-) Actually, I see no point in allowing TELNET 
access at all. Sending passwords in the clear isn't good, even for hobby 
accounts users don't care about.

I may lobby to move SSH to another port for the reason you stated. I 
personally haven't run SSH on port 22 for many years.
