RE: [[cobalt-users] Server Hacked?]

Manuel,

Are your shell commands limited?
Are you only allowed to move around within your own
directory structure?

I'm curious which types of security stuff they have you
limited to.  Allowing that many telnet accesses seems like
they could just be throwing caution to the wind.

Hello all,

I still have some comments to the telnet discussion. I am at
the
University of Saarbruecken (Germany) here. There are about
15.000 students
here and almost 75% have an internet account, private
homepage, email
address and so on.

Moreover, ALL of them have a telnet account to the
universities server and
as far as I know there was no security problem yet.

I don't know why but at it seems telnet isn't as insecure as
we all are
afraid of...

Manuel
