What's so strange about it? I have telnet installed, but I almost never
use it. The only time I could imagine actually using it to telnet
somewhere would be to access some anonymous telnet service (don't know
of any off the top of my head). Although I think that ssh will fall
back to an rlogin- or rsh-style login if it can't encrypt the session.
Hmm, I wonder if the ssh executable could be used for plain old telnet
sessions.
The one drawback, that I can think of, that netcat would have for an
interactive login session would be the behavior of ^C. You wouldn't
want to attempt to kill a command and wind up killing your session.
Have you checked out some of the scripts in /usr/doc/netcat/examples/ ?
