Not very likely.  Besides, ext_srvtab is the wrong way to do things.
I have a version of ksrvutil that works with the Transarc kaserver.
Your message prompted me to package it up for grand.central.org.

Various people have implemented various schemes designed for their

I have this, but I'm not happy enough with it to release it.  It
requires changes to login and I don't know whether or not we can
release our login.

Of course, it's incompatible with every other protocol that calls
itself "rlogin".
