Problems using Kerberos telnet

While we're on the subject, I find that the Heimdal telnet on my
NetBSD 1.5.2 host fails to do a reverse lookup to determine the
service host's canonical name.  That's probably a bug.  MIT clients
do this more or less universally, in krb5_sname_to_principal().

This is probably not the problem our nameless correspondent "Someone"
is having, but I believe he is using Heimdal too.
