It looks like Nifty Telnet will support Kerberos 4. I see no mention of
ssh, though. Using Kerberos 4 the passwords are encrypted, yes? Is the
entire data exchange encrypted, though? I hate to give some hacker my root
password in cleartext using su (I guess I could log in directly as root,
but then I would have to allow this, which I would rather not do.)
