I think YDL could make some improvements to their distro in that respect:
- include SSH as default, instead of Telnet
- include a "secure" ftp server, instead of WUFTPd

I know that a gnubee is all "happy happy joy joy", if the services he has
up and running, are configured well and do what they are supposed to do,
but as Hollis put it you DO have a responsibility if your box is world
accessable, keep that in mind. YOU would not like 20 hacked boxes filling
your leased line with SYN packets trying to bog down your server...
