I think we can afford to turn off rsh/rlogind/telnet by default in 4.x,
since we have openssh pre-installed. I do not think we can turn off
these babies by default in 2.2.x, because we don't, but also because
these sorts of changes effect only new installs and since most people
still using 2.2.x are in maintainance mode, not new-install mode, these
changes are not going to have any effect whatsoever so there is not
much point in making them.
What I would like to see in 4.x is *EVERYTHING* turned off by default:
ftp, telnet, comsat, ntalk, smtp... the works. In fact I would turn
off inetd itself by default.
The only thing going into 2.2.x should be bug fixes. We definitely
should not be making install policy changes in 2.2.x.
