	Disregard my last post, and a big Thank you to Jason Howk.  After
compiling the KerberosIV version of telnetd, I came back with a file
of the exact original size.  Now, I really was never confused :-)

	I may be a little out of line here, and I agree that this guy is a
joker, but could somebody explain to me why my telnetd dropped to less
than half of its original size after recompiling?

Original telnetd:

-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  73080 Jan 28 07:15 /usr/libexec/telnetd*

After make and make install:

-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  36288 May 15 21:06 /usr/libexec/telnetd*

	Whereas portmap actually maintained it's original size:

-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  11944 Jan 28 07:13 /usr/sbin/portmap*
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  11944 May 15 21:09 /usr/sbin/portmap*
