I was on claris' site looking for a port...couldnt find one YET
Well it DOES have to do with permissions. Example is adding a user on a
linux system. Typically only ROOT can do this unless you use sudo or
some other package that gives plain users certain root priveleges. And
yes, those things can be done via a telnet session given the user has
the rights to perform such actions. And dont forget....you cant
typically telnet to a linux box as root...one must telnet as a user then
SU to root or have root priveleges.
