Both are valid concerns. First you can require and only run your telnet
server via SSL. That takes care of the user sign on being passed in the
clear. The second approach does allow someone walking up to a unsecured
PC and accessing the iSeries as the PC user. Again secure you PC's
because there are other security issues besides just the telnet session.
Also the auto logon does not help if someone logs off their telnet
session then comes back and logs on without closing and reopening the
session. I do not like allowing the bypass an force the SSL. That is,
in my opinion, the most secure way to control access via telnet.
