I don't know how you run your lab nets, but if I have something on a lab net,
it still gets secured the same way as a world-visible machine would.
1) That protects it if ever I add a gateway machine that talks to the world.
2) It keeps you in the habit of securing *everything*.
Apparently, the knee-jerk 'ewww' at using telnet, even on a lab network, wasn't
ingrained enough to configure ssh instead... Thus there's indeed a high likelyhood
that there's still telnet being used in some corner of the production net....
