OT, but I think of this every time someone gives an anti-ssh statement
w/o being able to give good reason.  Back in the mid-90s, I was the
sysadmin for a largish colo datacenter, I saw one of my customers using
telnet on a funny port to log into his systems.  I asked him why he was
1) using telnet and not ssh and , 2) on that port?

He said that he put telnet on the different port as a basic 'security
through obscurity' method.  He said he'd tried ssh once, but while
watching the packets with a sniffer, all he saw was hex chars and didn't
understand anything, so he quit using it.

So. 

Close.
