I prefer inetd, it is less resource intesive, and I am using it on all
of my other stations. I try and use the same software across all
stations, where possible.

The ssh tool encrypts the network traffic making it difficult to
analyse. I don't want encrypted traffic on the local area network.

This is a new installation, and the system logging mechanisms are not
yet operational. I was hoping to fix this after fixing the remote
access via telnet. I am new to Gentoo, so I am still learning how to
configure it. I am currently working on getting the system loggine
mechanisms operational.
