Hi,

To my understanding the answer is no.

I think already when they teached this on the routers and switches it was considered a security risk and was usually always disabled.

Seeing how ASA is security device it seems logical that this wouldnt be a supported feature on the ASA. Though then again this could be a choice like its on routers and switches.

There are things on the switches/routers which are considered the very basic of what you can do on the command line of the device but which are not supported on the ASA.

Take for example telnetting to a remote device from another device. This is possible on the Cisco routers and switches but not in PIX/ASA as its a security device.

EDIT: Stupid typo
