  However, it appears that in the MIT K4 distribution the bsd apps and the
  sample apps do not do any handshaking prior to issuing a krb_recvauth().

Most of the sample apps use a different port for the kerberized version of
the protocol.  So rlogin is on port 513, klogin is on 543, pop is on 109,
kpop is on 1109, etc.

Telnet is a bit different.  It's not widely implemented yet, but rfc 1416
puts both versions on the same port, and negotiates authentication as a
telnet option.  As far as I know this is the only service that works this
way.
