What's really scary is that the people here complaining about a 
certain vendor charging extra for SSH and hence forcing them to use 
"insecure" telnet havnt the cop-on to read that vendor's 
"AAA" documentation and realise that the base feature set _already_ 
includes capability to do secure authentication.

Eg, challenge/response via RADIUS or even Kerberised telnet (and many 
people here probably already have kerberos servers in their 
organisations, aka Windows Active Directory).
