It is telnet.krb5, but apparently it doesn't encrypt by default (the code
to try "-axF" seems not to be there). Try telnet -x, or telnet -xF if you
want to forward credentials.
We could potentially add a wrapper around it that uses -x if there are no
options, but people without an Athena background are used to telnet not
trying to do anything fancy by default, and -x will disconnect if
authentication can't be negotiated.
