## The original thread was: (PM) Filtering telnet connections to PM3

The manuals warn that long filters may degrade the
PM perfornance. I know that a telnet filter takes only
very few lines, but wouldn't it be more efficient to
implement a technique like existing SNMP access control:
add snmphost reader/writer allowed-host
also for telnet (and of course PMconsole too) ?

Don't know how many telnet connection is a typical PM
making, probably few in a day, and that is not in relation
with millions of packets that must be checked againts the
filter rules.

Thanks,

Vlado
