- REL-ENG ACTION ITEM -

On each platform, /etc/inetd.conf or /etc/athena/inetd.conf must be
modified to run /etc/athena/telnetd rather than the default telnetd.


- RELEASE NOTES -

TELNET

Telnet sessions to hosts running Kerberos-authenticated telnetd may be
protected from network eavesdropping.  For example,

	telnet -safe athena.dialup.mit.edu

will establish a Kerberos-authenticated, encrypted telnet session to an
Athena dialup machine.  Private Athena workstation owners may want to
add the following line to /etc/inetd.conf:

telnet  stream  tcp     nowait  unswitched      root    /etc/athenatelnetd    telnetd -a off

Manual pages are provided.


TMAC

Formerly, nroff would always do the wrong thing with manual pages from
BSD 4.3network2 or higher.  If you have such a man page, you may now
insert the line

	.so /usr/athena/lib/tmac/tmac.doc

at the top of your man page to help nroff get the right macros.
Unfortunately, catman will still not put an entry in the whatis file.
