I have tried using the kerb distribution in secr.tar.gz but it get errors
like:

 kinit: Can't send request (send_to_kdc)

whenever I try to kinit.  Is this similar to what you saw??

Also, is it possible to only sup /src/domestic.  I don't have the full
source tree supped right now.  And I don't have a whole lot of space to
spare.

FTP would be nice, but all I really need is telnet (both the userland
program and the daemon) that does kerberos.  Does NetBSD telnet have support
for kerberos (I don't think so).

Yes, and I've tried both.  On some machines I can get kerberos (the eBones
distribution at http://www.pdc.kth.se/kth-krb/) to work with FTP (ie I get
"Kerberos login successful") then when I try to list or anything I get:

Please login with USER and PASS.

I'd be very interested in your changes.  As would be the people who wrote
this disribution.

Thanks.
