[plug] Telnet and FTP

[Kai]

1) prolly not, what is the package name of the telnet server/daemon ?
2) no, I couldn't even telnet to this machine when hosts.deny/allow had
nothing in that at all

OK, SSh I have heard a bit about, anyone can suggest what version to
download for RH and a URL to go?

Thank you
