Please do so. This would emphasize how much we rely on secure protocol
rather than plain telnet, even r* commands. Make this as default
behavior is better then teaching people how to use ssh. Once this
happens, they would try to find ways to get FreeBSD access over ssh
even on other platforms, rather than just mail to system administrator
and complain "Why do you close telnet access ? Why do yo close ftp
access ? Why do you blah blah blah blah."

Heh, well, even on win32 rsync's homepage, it is recommanded to run
rsync over SSH. But people just don't read it and try to configure it
because our default configuration doesn't rely on SSH.
