Jerome,

You better can use a ssh server in the PI as telnet is highly insecure.

I understand that the config files do not get deleted.  I cannot find the configuration file for telnetd, so it must be part of another internet control file.  This pi has only been used to run uronode, but I wonder if uronode in it’s config files, disables the server in favour of some other scheme?  I guess Brian would know, so I copy him on this post.
