   My other beef with the protocol is that you can't use kerberos
   encryption unless your principal is authorized to login, so you can't
   just encrypt with kerberos and type a password to login as somebody
   else.

rlogin/d has this same limitation, too, which I think is very
unfortunate.  We were going to fix it at OV but never got around to
it.
