   Most Linux distributions including Slackware by default has telnet, rsh,   
   rcp, rlogin and rexec disabled these days. Instead they rely on ssh and   
   scp. The reason that telnet, rsh, rcp, rlogin and rexec are considered   
   insecure is that they send unencrypted plain text passwords over the   
   network. With a tool like tcpdump or wireshark you can see other users   
   passwords if they use such tools.
