This is very serious. There must be at least a half a dozen Linux boxes out there connected to the internet with a telnet daemon running.

There is at least one Windoze box running a telnet daemon (alongside Great Plains, and for the occasional convenience of yours truly — albeit not on the well-known port; has yet to be hacked).

Good Lord, FRiend -- if your server is accessible other than on a very protected LAN, please download a copy of Cygwin and run their SSHD service. Just sayin'...
