Do you think ssh is more secure? It may not be. Just think about the complexity of ssh. It has been hit by a bug in zlib, for example. Or has zlib had an audit as strict as ssh? Telnet has its problems, but we should not say that ssh is "more secure" acritically. It is obvious that it has advantages, however. Borja.
