I saw the following on the IETF mailer. My question:
Does the Kerberos V5 telnet & telnetd include most of the bug fixes
that are in the version announced by David Borman?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a new version of the BSD telnet code now available for
anonymous FTP. This is the version of Telnet code that will be on
the 4.4BSD-Lite2 distribution, and is mostly a bug-fix release. It
can be picked up via anonymous FTP from ftp.cray.com, in the file
src/telnet/telnet.95.05.31.NE.tar.Z.
This version does not have encryption code, but a version with the
encryption code can be gotten from an ftp archive at MIT, see the
README.encryption file for more information.
