I just ran "mkserv remote" on paddington.mit.edu, which should be
running whatever is current for public SGIs.

   Athena Server (INDY) Version 8.0J Thu Feb 13 11:44:01 1997

I installed the srvtab and it does appear to accept encrypted
telnet connections now.

The behavior is different than my previous experience though.  In
the past, "-a off" eliminated the need to type a login name.  Now
the machine prompts for login name:

   > telnet pb
   ...including Athena's default telnet options: "-ax"
   Trying 18.177.1.1...
   Connected to PADDINGTON.MIT.EDU.
   Escape character is '^]'.
   [ Trying KERBEROS4 ... ]
   [ Kerberos V4 accepts you ]
   [ Kerberos V4 challenge successful ]
   hat you type is protected by encryption.
   login: hoffmann^C
   Password:

It does this consistently.

Is this the expected behavior?

For comparison, here's a telnet session from the same machine
to a decstation which happens to be convenient:

   > telnet ring0
   ...including Athena's default telnet options: "-ax"
   Trying 18.177.0.185...
   Connected to ring0.mit.edu.
   Escape character is '^]'.
   [ Trying KERBEROS4 ... ]
   [ Kerberos V4 accepts you ]
   [ Kerberos V4 challenge successful ]
   What you type is protected by encryption.
   Password:

So there it is.
