That's not what I mean, telnet servers in embedded machines will not bitrot, since the underlying components do not change if the firmware is not upgraded. if the firmware is modified, someone has to check if features present in previous incarnations still work.
Of course. I mean that I hope that they are forced, some time, to replace telnet with ssh on the new machines they build. The existing machines can not change, of course. Now that I remember... it was my previous router, it had an ssh server, but at some point Linux was unable to connect to it. Something changed in the openSUSE client, and connection broke. I had to go back to telnet. They were probably using a very obsolete ssh server implementation. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
