See the IETF drafts for the telnet protocol authentication options.
Find your favorite RFC FTP site like NIC.DDN.MIL and look in the
internet-drafts directory. File names you want start with draft-ietf-
telnet-auth.
For rlogin extensions I think you will need to read the MIT-distributed
source code.
As xylogics/annex customer(:-) I would be perfectly happy to
have you implement Kerberos for telnet only; rlogin is unneccessary
assuming your telnet implementation is up to snuff. As a cisco customer,
I'd be happy to see them do it too. In other words, this feature will
affect my next terminal server puchase decision.
Futhermore, along the lines of some recent flamage on this newsgroup,
I'd be even more happy to see Kerberos brought out to the "terminal"
(PC running Kermit) so that the protocol exchange could be done over
async lines since as some have pointed out, even phone lines can be
tapped (gee, what a new concept:-).
