And legal responsibility is another.

Yes, the first issue is the use of telnet, which has been deprecated for the past several years because it is insecure; see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet#Security I am concerned that your server may help pirates send spam or viruses to me and I am considering legal action. Opening root access to a server over telnet is irresponsible and almost criminal. If you are the computer expert you say you are, you know this perfectly well. -- Ludovic Brenta.
