I'd also be a bit hesitant about killing off telnetd entirely
(i.e.
totally removing the package; less so than removing the client, though),
but I strongly agree with Horst that it shouldn't be /installed/ (and
absolutely, not set up to accept connections!!) by default.
Well, you are in luck, since telnet-server hasn't been installed by
default for years (sometime around RHL 8.0 IIRC).
