My YDL machine is powered off at the moment, so I'm working from memory
here. If you MUST have telnet support make sure to limit it to your
LAN or those hosts that need it. 

The places would be in /etc/hosts.allow:
in.telnetd:		hostname or IP range.

and in xinet.d/telnet:
	only_from = hostname or IP range.

Check man pages for syntax.

However, if you know a system that does NOT have an ssh (even the old ssh1)
implementation please let us know what it is, as I can't recall one.

Geoff.
