Re: safest FTP and TELNET options?

[Chuck Yerkes <chuck@snew.com>]

OS9 also has MacSSH which is based on Better Telnet (improved NCSA
Telnet) with SSH extentions.  Also supports S/Key.  I used to use
it for my Mom to get mail via Pine.  She never knew about S/Key -
she was just prompted for a password, this one would just deal with
the S/Key stuff and feed the OTP over the wire.

SCP is good.  

It WOULD be nice to be able to restrict telnet users - eg. never
allow root, or UIDs < 1000.  Perhaps it's in there, I don't build
telnetd anymore, I don't look.
