Changes in release 0.7.2

* Fix security problem in rshd that enable an attacker to overwrite
  and change ownership of any file that root could write.

  turning telnetd off because it forked too fast.

* Make gss_acquire_cred(GSS_C_ACCEPT) check that the requested name
  exists in the keytab before returning success. This allows servers
