I am a little surprised by this as well. Encrypted passwords to me would mean at least a little more secure than clear text passwords. Anything that can be sniffed as easy as telnet should not be used. wow, now i have seen everything! :) asenchi -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-security@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-security@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of kerberus Sent: Thursday, March 28, 2002 4:39 PM To: Adam Cc: security@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: SSH or Telnet? Am I actually reading this on a security list of all places ???? Are you actually suggesting the user use something that sends data over the wire such as the username, and password in clear text usable ?? Doesnt the thought of this scare you??? you telnet to remote system, someone bewtween you and remote system, say at your ISP is sniffing the wire for whatever reason, as your logging into the remote box, and guess what, now they have your access to that same box. Dont use telnet, it is very insecure, use ssh where everything is encrypted!! On Thu, 2002-03-28 at 16:33, Adam wrote: > I would highly suggest that you use telnet.
