Hehehehe!

I still like using these in isolated nets where external hackery is of no concern, and something low-maintenance/overhead is needed. Its been a while since I did this, I admit, but I’d hate to lose them. They are, after all, disabled by default, as is telnet.

Some time ago I had a separate “backbone” net on which my NFS mounts operated. I also ran various inter-box jobs using rsh so I didn’t have to deal with crypto overhead. The single outward-facing connection was heavily secured.

I'd prefer to see r-utils maintained as part of the core OS, but if there was a maintained port, I guess I could tolerate that. :-)
