Hi folks A while back when proposed the ebones/secure cleanup, I suggested that secure telnet move to eBones. This suggestion now rears its ugly head again. Secure telnet is only secure if there is authentication, and for us, that means Kerberos/eBones. (Other possibilities, not used by us, include RSA, SPX, Kerberos5) Right now we have the disastrous situation that secure telnet _*requires*_ kerberos to work, but mit is a part of the 'secure' distribution. This obviously does not work, because if a user installs secure and no eBones, they do not get required libraries (libdes, libkrb etc). I propose that we move it immediately to eBones, and do this for 2.1 as well. If I don't get objections, I will start doing this RSN. (a day or so). In the slightly longer term, I will be bringing in the new DES library...
