>Description:
The kerberos support in telnet produces too much confusing output.
And there seems to be no way to build a non kerberos telnet when
you use the crypt-intl code to get raccon and co.
bsd.own.mk contains defines for KERBEROS and KERBEROS5, but I can't
find any checks in the crypt-intl tree which use that.
>How-To-Repeat:
Build a crypto-intl version of telnet and use it:
telnet localhost
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
[ Trying mutual KERBEROS5 ... ]
Kerberos V5: mk_req failed (No such file or directory)
[ Trying KERBEROS5 ... ]
Kerberos V5: mk_req failed (No such file or directory)

>Fix:
Don't print the kerberos lines if kerberos is not configured.
