comment Is swap an anachronism?
I don't have much un*x beard (some hair still ;), but my 2 cents would be that having a "bit" of swap would give your system some robustness. As instead of directly OOM, you would go to swap instead if a bit over your system limits. Sure, if really way over your system limits, your system will eventually crash/halt/nuke-itself/whatever-hell-you-can-imagine. So giving a bit rope to play with ;)

comment How can I use command line telnet client to open a raw connection - like PuTTY?
Beware: telnet seems "raw", but it isn't. There is already some protocol level involved even if limited. What are you trying to achieve here ?

comment transfer permissions user -> group/other
Yes it does, due to the "-not" on the "-perm" select option (I verified the whole case on a BSD box and a RedHat).

comment Is it possible to find out the hosts in the known_hosts file?
As stated by @pdo, your sshd as "HashKnownHosts" set to on, which may appear a bit anal, but security concern it is. And of course there is no way to simply reverse the hashes and get the hostnames from your "known_hosts".

Which ssh software are you using then (we were assuming that you were using the almost-standart openssh software) ?
