The zctl man page is inaccurate. The description of realm-announced,
and net-visible says:

 realm-visible
                 The user is registered with Zephyr.  User  loca-
                 tion  information is retained by Zephyr and made
                 available only to users within the  user's  Ker-
                 beros  realm.   No login or logout announcements
                 will be  sent.   This  is  the  system  default.
                 Default  subscriptions  and  any additional per-
                 sonal subscriptions  will  be  entered  for  the
                 user.

 net-visible
                 The user is registered with Zephyr.  User  loca-
                 tion  information is retained by Zephyr and made
                 available to any authenticated user who requests
                 such.  Login  and  logout  announcements will be
                 sent only to users within  the  user's  Kerberos
                 realm  who  have  explicitly  requested such via
                 subscriptions.  Default  subscriptions  and  any
                 additional   personal   subscriptions   will  be
                 entered for the user.


I kinited with a non ATHENA.MIT.EDU principle and put aatharuv on that
user's .anyone . After running znol, I was able to receive login
announcements for aatharuv@ATHENA.MIT.EDU when setting my exposure to
all three of realm-announced, net-visible, and net-announced. Though
last is to be expected, with the former two exposures, my non-athena
principle shouldn't have been able to sub to receive such
announcements of my login. I was connected to arilinn.

Thus, it appears that effectively, net-visible and net-announced are
identical.
