I've sometimes thought that in the BBS community, sysops should probably enable
SSH, and users should probably opt to use SSH over telnet/RLogin since it's
encrypted.  I've mentioned that once on Dove-Net, but it seemed that the
general opinion was that most poeple don't really care much about security for
BBS sessions.  I've noticed that SSH makes the session a bit slower, but it's
nothing major.
