My original message was to point out the shortcoming, not to claim it
was a fatal flaw.  I agree with Jeff that the right way to approach
this might be punt on integrity, but to make sure that users are aware
of that fact.  As Paul indicates, this will only be one option for
encryption in telnet, so doing so does not preclude us from adding
integrity later.  For the time being, users will have to use rlogin if
integrity is desired.
