Oops, sorry folks. I've re-uploaded the patch to the master FTP server,
and it should propagate to others soon.

That's right. For 5.x, it is fairly straightforward:
# cd /usr/src
# patch < /path/to/patch
# cd /usr/src/lib/libtelnet
# make obj && make depend && make
# cd /usr/src/usr.bin/telnet
# make obj && make depend && make && make install
But 4.x has no less than four possible telnet clients that might be
installed depending upon local settings of NOCRYPT, MAKE_KERBEROS4,
MAKE_KERBEROS5, and probably others :-/
