Another solution is to change the telnet port for the PM. Its not a permanent solution, but it would stop those would-be crackers that just try to telnet to the PM, not knowing the correct port number.
That is not a solution.. Portscanning is way to easy, and popular.. everyone has a scanner, everyone uses a scanner.. Changing the port would just make it so that they would scan for what is there.. Only delay it by a second or two.. The real solution is to remove all such backdoors.. I dont recall about EVER reading about this in the documentation on the router.. If this is in there, what else is there? Is there a back door that would give someone root on the router?
