Right.... 

I know this is tangential, but this reminded me of something interesting
I noticed recently.  I have 2 systems neither running the telnet
service.  One is a RHELv4 system and the other a F16 system.

Trying to telnet to the RHELv4 system gets "Connection refused" while
trying to the F16 system gets "No route to host".  Weird.  Will have to
check into that a bit more when I have the chance.
