Perhaps not a good idea considering telnet security. Martin	[reply]

Perhaps not a good idea considering telnet security. IMO not an issue for people who store the root password in plain text in a variable.... -- Ronald Fischer <ynnor@mm.st>	[reply] [d/l]

Due to the relative sparseness of the question we've no idea how the password was supplied, if this is intended to check accounts on remote servers or any details about the code currently in use it is difficult to comment constructively other than advising against the use of any protocol where a password is sent plain text. Adding one questionable approach to another is IMHO, not wise. Martin	[reply]
