IMHO the current scenery we're talking about is a server which will recieved 
connections using telnet service. If someone is doing a man in the middle 
attack or just listen with a tcpdumd, all text passwords will be captured. As 
far as I know, iptraf could do the trick.

How many sysadmin are working on their machines as a local users? Majority of 
them are with more workers on the same subnet, so everybody is able to catch 
passwords.

Actually, I don't undestand your point of view, I wonder why are you in favor 
of telnet instead ssh.

Greentings.
