Hehe... around 2002 I worked in the IT support division of a telco (South America.) At some time I suggested the use of ssh to login to our farm of Digital/Compaq/HP servers (I believe it was not included in the base OS.)

The IT Security Officer never contacted me, but convinced the management about the insecurity of SSH by showing a big list of CVEs. As a result we were instructed to continue using... telnet.
