The part about Telnet is truly scary... Among people who have "clue", the biggest reason I have heard to continue running ssh1 is for emergency access via hand-held smartphones or other pocket sized devices. The Handspring Treo 180 and similar keyboarded cellphone-pda devices don't have the CPU power necessary for a SSH2 key exchange, unless I'm drastically mistaken about the FPU abilities of a 33 MHz Motorola Dragonball...
I wonder if they asked the people using Telnet if they were using over the internet - or inside a corporate intranet, shielded from the outside? -- Jeff Shultz A railfan pulls up to a RR crossing hoping that there will be a train.
