Hi everyone,

I have been looking for a more secure way of using telnet and ftp from
NetBSD (currently at 1.3.3 will move to 1.4.1 soon) on i386. The environ-
ment here is mostly WinNT and Solaris. I manage some NetBSD systems; they
provide DNS, DHCP, and gateway services. I seem to be the only one (along
with a few VMS systems) who sends passwords in the clear on the network. I
would like to change that.

I have found the packages openssl and ssleay (in NetBSD packages). They
seem to be libraries. Does this mean that I have to modify telnetd and
ftpd sources? Are the servers supplied with NetBSD able to support SSL as
is? Please suggest the best approach to achieve my goal.

Thank you.
