Reccomend disabling telnet completely. Use ssh, as it's a bit more secure. I would also suggest that you refrain from putting any users in the 'mail' group. This is for the mail daemons to use. Finally, to prevent logins, set each user's shell to /sbin/nologin (same as most of the system accounts).
