Disabling Kerberos telnet

Help. I want to telnet to a laptop that has Fedora 3 installed. This is on a private net so I do not want any type of forced security. I just want to telnet to the laptop from different Linux PCs. Unfortunately, when I do telnet to the laptop I get an error message.

This is the error message I receive after entering the pbuttword:

Cannot resolve network address for KDC in requested realm while getting initial credentials

I edited the file krb5-telnet in theetc-xinet.d directory from disable=yes to disable=no. Before I did that it would not even accept a telnet connection. At least now it accepts connections. FTP is fine.

krb5-telnet inetc-xinet.d dir # default: off # description: The kerberized telnet server accepts normal # telnet sessions, but can also use Kerberos 5 authentication. service telnet { flags = REUSE sockettype = stream wait = no user = root server =usr-kerberos-sbin-telnetd logonfailure += USERID disable = no }

The comment in the krb5-telnet file states that "The kerberized telnet server accepts normal sessions", but that appears false.

There is no other telnetd package installed.

How do I either:

1. Disable kerberos so that it accepts connections 2. Remove the kerberos telnet package (rpm -qa does not show any kerberos telnet package)

Thanks.
