I've got authenticated telnetting in to work here at Stanford, though I
don't know what kind of kerberos we're using (we use the afs string2key,
and I _think_ it's CMU kerberos, but I'm not sure).
I just checked, and I think we use mit kerberos for most stuff. There were
no CMU copyrights in the binary. :-(
I'd suggest either ktrace telnetd, and/or lots of printf's.
Take care,
