    Because that doesn't solve the problem. You could restrict access to the
    telnet executable for normal users (I'd recommend against deleting it,
    because it is a useful tool for network troubleshooting), but they still
    could use a statically linked executable instead. Problems like this are
    best addressed on the server, not on the clients.
