	In general this type of message is better on kerberos@mit.edu.
It is likely that you are dealing with a documentation bug, but it is
often better to keep discussions on kerberos@mit.edu, then cc
krb5-bugs@mit.edu once it's clear what the specific bug is.  In
particular, "It didn't work" messages are much more likely to produce
useful results on kerberos@mit.edu than krb5-bugs@mit.edu.  Still, it
doesn't matter  that much.

	Well, what services did you enable in /etc/inetd.conf, and did
inetd give errors about them?  When you telnet to the klogin and
eklogin ports on your machine, what happens.

	If you use rsh without a command then it actually calls
rlogin.  (This is a Unix truism and has nothing to do with Kerberos).
However, this suggets something strange is happening bweteen rsh and
rlogin inside Kerberos that manages to get the wrong  options passed
to the non-Kerberos login.  I'll look at that when I get a chance, but
it's not a major issue.

that the Kerberos rlogin wasn't able to
connect to the login server.

	The install docs
	Well, the diagnostic steps I suggested above should help
narrow things.  I.E. regarding what is in your inetd.conf and erorrs
from inetd, etc.

    Paul> Any ideas?

	This error indicates that the sample principal is not in the
appropriate keytab.  How did you create /etc/v5srvtab, and did you
include the sample service in it?

	That's probably a bug in the documentation.  It probably means
you don't have kadmind5 running properly, but if I remember correctly,
the instructions for setting up kadmind5 don't always work right.
What happens when you try and run kadmind5,; what errors does it
produce?
