Is there a version of Host Explorer that can login to current Athena 8.2
systems?  The only one I can find (the Oct '97 version) fails to login
to any systems other than the Athena dialin servers.

Back in July, the Athena 8.2 release notes said:

   By default the Athena 8.2 version of telnetd will try to negotiate
   Kerberos 5 authentication. The current version of Host Explorer can
   only deal with Kerberos 4 logins. An updated version should be
   available in the near future (see http://web.mit.edu/is/pubs/ns-55/
   for updates and information).

but ns-55 has yet to be updated.

Alternatively, does anyone know how to duplicate the Athena hack that
the dialin servers use, to properly take Host Explorer connections?
