First, I am working with Kerberos IV.  I know it might me fixed in Kerberos V,
but until that version is out of BETA I must deal with IV.

I decided to try something that concerned me.  I put my normal pricipal in the
.klogin file for root on a machine I maintain.
Then I did the following after kiniting as myself.

This telnet also allows me to connect as root so long as I use the kerberized
telnet and give it a -l root.  

Is this a FEATURE????  Can I disable this feature or will I have to hack on
the source?

I am running the Cygnus distribution.  I do not have a ewb4.root@INS.CWRU.EDU
principal.  Any other questions, feal free to ask.
