I've advocated removing all non-encrypting services and making them ports, like "r" commands, telnet, ftp, etc., because we have much better solutions like SSH and apache which are not only more secure but firewall friendly, however I won't go there, as it is yet another bikeshed that gets too many people upset. Someone should put together an plan, however that would get mired down in the bikeshed syndrome. (My apologies for the cynicism -- it's been a bad year).
