   We are porting Kerberos version 5 on System V Release 3 and are facing
   problems with /src/appl/telnet/login/login.c file as it makes use of 
   Kerberos version 4 functions. We do not have Kerberos version 4 and 
   hence are facing problems. Is there any version of "login.c" which has
   been converted so as to use only Kerberos version 5 function calls.

Just comment out those calls; they're used to get kerberos
ticket-granting-tickets on v4 systems, if you've typed a password
instead of getting authenticated via Kerberos.

I believe telnetd is doing a simple "login -f username", so as long your
system supports the -f option to login to mean "force the user to login
without prompting for a password", you should just be able to use your
standard system /bin/login.
