People are still using telnet?

Apparently, there are people out there still using telnet. If that's not bad enough, recently a nasty zero day vulnerability in the telnet daemon of Solaris 10 & 11 was discovered. Nowadays, almost everything has SSH support so there is no excuse to be using telnet. I really don't think telnet is a good idea even behind your perimeter line of defense. In my opinion, if something needs a password, then it needs encryption too.
