As to what MIT have (not) done I'm absolutely clueless. They don't
export whatever they are doing to the rest of the world. In any case,
krb4-0.10.1 (and all prior versions I can think of) is compatible at a
protocol level with other r* implementations and does not exec any old
executables. R* support is built into rsh, rcp, and rlogin. Because of
the r* compatibility the programs must be installed suid root.

Just grab ftp://ftp.pdc.kth.se/pub/krb/src/krb4-0.10.1.tar.gz and try
it out. At no extra cost, you will also get builtin AFS awareness and
all kinds of other goodies.
