Hi,

Just some questions about telnet.  I just installed FreeBSD.  I want to 
setup so that I can telnet into it and do some work on it (as it'll be 
the server for the house)

Anyhow.  Are these the steps?

   (1) enable inetd
   (2) enable telnet in inetd
   (3) start inetd process

The handbook (4th edition) stated that inetd is disabled for security 
purposes? Why is that?  What are the risks?

Is there a way to restrict telnet access from certain IPs?  Do I need 
xinetd? Does FreeBSD come with xinetd?

How about IPSec? Is IPSec supported in FreeBSD?  Could I put a IPSec for 
telnet port for a range of addresses?  Docs on it?
