[ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [sedwards] 40485: add telnet service, enable it by default

[Timo Kreuzer]

Actually there's quite a few people running reactos on their main
machine from a second hdd from time to time.

Having a telnet server running by default on a system that is
automatically connected to the internet without a firewall, doesn't have
any user authentication or limited accounts, has full access to all of
the PC's hardware and tends to be quite buggy doesn't sound like a great
idea. Let's not start with sloppyness in this area.
Please disable. 90% of people don't use it anyway, and I'm quite sure it
isn't enabled by default on a Windows server.
