There is some awkwardness associated with Kerberos-authenticated telnet,
because you don't get tickets on the remote host.  A user with default
homedir permissions (system:anyuser l) will see something like this:

telnet -a -x joy.mit.edu
Trying 18.177.1.165...
Connected to joy.MIT.EDU.
Escape character is '^]'.
[ Trying KERBEROS4 ... ]
[ Kerberos V4 accepts you ]
[ Kerberos V4 challenge successful ]

Warning: No Kerberos tickets obtained.

And the delete key won't work.  We may need some user education to get
people to make at least their .cshrc file world-readable.

In addition to user education, I think we could benefit from the
following patch to the global dotfiles.  Please comment.
