go to post Rich Pieri · Mar 17, 2023 This is what I historically would have done but telnet no longer exists. RHEL 8 deprecated all of the insecure communications tools like telnet and ftp, and RHEL 9 removes them. So, no telnet. While this would have been an option on RHEL 7, lack of a modern OpenSSL library on RHEL 7 makes it unsuitable for our needs.
