Hehehehe!

I still like using these in isolated nets where external hackery is of =
no concern, and something low-maintenance/overhead is needed. Its been a =
while since I did this, I admit, but I=E2=80=99d hate to lose them. They =
are, after all, disabled by default, as is telnet.

Some time ago I had a separate =E2=80=9Cbackbone=E2=80=9D net on which =
my NFS mounts operated. I also ran various inter-box jobs using rsh so I =
didn=E2=80=99t have to deal with crypto overhead. The single =
outward-facing connection was heavily secured.

I'd prefer to see r-utils maintained as part of the core OS, but if =
there was a maintained port, I guess I could tolerate that. :-)
