  I am running Kerberos 4, and I am having a problem using
 telnet. If I telnet in as a normal user, everything works
 fine and it does not prompt me for the password. If
 I telnet in to the root account, it always asks me for
 the password, even though I have an entry in the /.klogin
 file. It gives the following sequence:

  [ Trying KERBEROS4 ... ]
  [ Kerberos V4 accepts you ]
  [ Kerberos V4 challenge successful ]
  Password:

Is there some secret to telnetting in as root? 

  Thanks for any suggestions,
