Just so that you know, a fairly recent version of telnet is available
with the KerberosV-beta4 release from athena-dist.mit.edu. The whole
thing almost compiles out of the box. But with a few quick fixes it
does all compile and function on NetBSD-1.0, including the telnet with
encryption. If you want the patches, then email me and I'll mail them
around March 18, when this school term ends.
BTW, I know that this info does people outside of the US no good at
all. Sorry about that, I let my congress-critter know my views on
crypto-export laws whenever possible.
Also, just FYI, the patch to telnet that was posted a few days ago
was against the KerberosV-beta4 release.
