[ILUG] Telnet error

[Walter Faleiro]

All,
I reinstalled the operating system on a VM just to test, and telnet works
fine. The issue seems to be with krb5-libs as I can see two instances of the
package, and rpm cannot uninstall either, citing the two instances.
And yes, we use telnet for all but connecting using username/password.

Thanks,
--W
