Manuel, Let me have a telnet account on any of your Cobalt servers. Give me written permission to destruct-test your system for vulnerabilities. Give me ten minutes. I promise you'll have a system with a blank hard disk. That's a promise. Just because no one's done it yet doesn't mean it can't be done. Jeff At 08:14 AM 2/14/00 +0100, you wrote:
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
