Hmm, there was something obvious that I was missing.  After hearing that
it should work, I looked at it some more, and it appears to work fine
with 'telnet -a host', instead of just 'telnet host' which generates a
'telnetd: Authorization failed', with 'telnetd -a valid' in /etc/inetd.conf.

Looking at the manpage, it is not obvious that '-a' enables kerberos support.

What are the chances of a kerberized rshd/rlogind making it into the tree?

Cool.  I think it is good to have it in the tree, but I think working versions
of rshd and rlogind are needed.  For our environment, we really need rsh
functionality, and have been using ssh for this.  We would prefer to have
a builtin solution, and 56bit DES is more than adequate in our environment.

Thanks.
