I don't know if this has been pointed out in the past, but it
was the intent of the Kerberos team to leave encryption compiled out
of Beta5 telnetd. There is no standard, and among other things, we'd
rather wait until this is standardized and all man-in-the-middle
attacks are eleminated before enabling it.
