Hi Ya'll, I am new to this list, but I work at a library which uses INNOPAC and I noticed that it is common practice to telnet into the INNOPAC program in order to manage patron records, fines, and other important secure information. I tested out a random sampling of libraries accross america which also use INNOPAC and most were also open to telnet access from any IP address, not just internal library IP's. I'm no expert, but it seems to me that telnet is an inherently insecure protocol and that any electronic interloper on the libraries network could set up a packet sniffer and easily retrieve INNOPAC passwords from telnet users, thus giving them total access to secure information. With all the recent articles in the news about major companies loosing proprietary information, this struck me as an important issue. Has this issue been addressed already or am I totally incorrect? Thanks for your time, Barrett
