8. Security
This is not much more of a vulnerability than the current possibility
of having a telnet connection hijacked on an unsecured outside
machine. The primary additional risk comes from people being able to
use the term socket you set up without you even being aware of it. So
be careful out there. (Personally, I do this with an outside machine
I know to be pretty secure, namely a linux laptop I maintain myself
that does not accept any incoming connections.)
Another possibility is to add
to the remote ˜/.term/termrc.telnet file, or
to the invocation of term.
This prevents the socket from being hijacked from the remote end,
with only a minor loss of functionality.
