If I set up a firewall between my company & the Internet & allow ftp
& telnet access out, is there any way I can prevent the passwords from
ftp & telnet from being sent out across the Internet in clear text?
I think not, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

Also can anyone point me to a testsuite so that I can test my firewall
in my "testlab"?
