What exactly is the status of Kerberized telnet?
The FAQ refers to an older version (91.03.25) that that actually found
on net-dist.mit.edu (94.02.07). The code on net-dist appears to be
buildable for both V4 and V5 with AUTHENTICATION and ENCRYPTION options,
but the latter does nothing useful at least when built with V4. The
telnet code distributed with V5 is different than that on net-dist, though
I haven't finished figuring out exactly how. The RFCs describe the
authentication option but not the encryption option. None of the vendor's
home pages give a complete description of exactly what their Kerberized
telnets do, unless I'm missing it. (Some say they do encryption --
I assume that means DES but in what mode? CFB?)
Am I the only confused one? Please enlighten me. :)
