According to the patches submitted by P-Pomes@uiuc.edu, in the Makefile for
libtelnet, DES_ENCRYPTION must also be defined.  I have not yet tested it.

Does anyone know if Encryption actually works with telnet in Kerberos 5
Beta 5 ?   We have defined "ENCRYPTION" during the build.  And we have the
Crypto source code from MIT.

I have tried using "-x" on the telnet command line and also using the
"encrypt" command at the telnet> prompt:

Here is a sample of the output:

%% telnet -a
telnet> encrypt ?
enable          Enable encryption. ('encrypt enable ?' for more)
disable         Disable encryption. ('encrypt enable ?' for more)
type            Set encryption type. ('encrypt type ?' for more)
start           Start encryption. ('encrypt start ?' for more)
stop            Stop encryption. ('encrypt stop ?' for more)
input           Start encrypting the input stream
-input          Stop encrypting the input stream
output          Start encrypting the output stream
-output         Stop encrypting the output stream
status          Display current status of authentication information
?               Print help information
telnet> encrypt enable ?
Usage: encrypt enable <type> [input|output]
Valid encryption types:
telnet> 

This looks very suspicious because there are NO encryption types listed.
Perhaps there is another configuration option that we need to specify
during the build.
