Well, I was going through this book "
http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596004033/index.html Kerberos: The Definitive
Guide " in order to setup Kerberos and on P. 82 it has you test your
configuration using a telnet client, so that it what I was trying to do, but
it is not fully working as it should.  I mean, it accepts my TGT but then
closes the session, what is up with that?
