Well, ktelnetd on cutter-john is now experiencing the same problems
that kalgan (which runs RH 3.0.3 with a 2.0 kernel) has been having
since I installed it.

Here's an example of trying to log in:

% telnet -safe kalgan
...including options requested by -safe: "-axN"
Trying 18.251.1.25...
Connected to kalgan.mit.edu.
Escape character is '^]'.
[ Trying KERBEROS4 ... ]
[ Kerberos V4 accepts you ]
[ Kerberos V4 challenge successful ]
What you type is protected by encryption.
Password: 
Connection closed by foreign host.

% telnet -safe kalgan
...including options requested by -safe: "-axN"
Trying 18.251.1.25...
Connected to kalgan.mit.edu.
Escape character is '^]'.
[ Trying KERBEROS4 ... ]
Connection closed by foreign host.

% telnet -safe kalgan
...including options requested by -safe: "-axN"
Trying 18.251.1.25...
Connected to kalgan.mit.edu.
Escape character is '^]'.
[ Trying KERBEROS4 ... ]
^]
telnet> close
Connection closed.

(The first time asks for a password, the second time it closes
the connection immediately, the third time and subsequent
times it just hangs.)

The connections go into a CLOSE state and just hang there
on the server.  The telnetd processes then just sit there:

root     15166  0.0  1.6  1024   520  ?  S   22:03   0:00 telnetd -a off 
root     15234  0.0  1.6  1024   520  ?  S   22:23   0:00 telnetd -a off 
root     18954  0.0  0.0  1028     0  ?  SW Oct  6   0:00 (telnetd)
root     19844  0.0  0.0  1024     0  ?  SW Oct  7   0:00 (telnetd)
root     19850  0.0  0.0  1024     0  ?  SW Oct  7   0:00 (telnetd)

Ideas?
