Anyone have any fun diffs for kerberized telnet/telnetd that I could play with? An IDEA encryption module? A Diffie-Hellman module? Standards not necessary, we're just experimenting here.
The Cygnus release of Kerberos v4 contains much of what you want. The 4.4 BSD version of Telnet also contains much of what you want.
"That turns out not to be the case." The version of CNS that we have doesn't have any encryption beyond DES. 4.4BSD telnet is basically identical to kerberosV telnet, and the only encryption it has is DES. You may have misunderstood my message, assuming I was looking for patches to some random unspecified version of telnet to make it kerberized and give it IDEA and DH capabilities. That would have been a stupid request to make. Thanks for the compliment. Let me be crystal clear this time. We have kerberosV telnet. It has DES encryption, and a few authentication options that do not include Diffie-Hellman. I am curious whether anyone has already started playing with adding new encryption and authentication modules, for example IDEA and DH. --- Jef
