[c-nsp] Telnet FROM a PIX Appliance?

[Aaron R]

Hi,

As we all know Telnet is plaintext and insecure. I assume they have disabled
telnet from the firewall to encourage secure communication? 

I don't see why else they would have disabled it. Having said this they
still enable telnet to the device which is a complete contradiction :P

Cisco?

Cheers,

Aaron.

And why exactly is this a security feature? What is the *gain* in security?

 Ciao

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
