    Oops, sorry folks. I've re-uploaded the patch to the master FTP server,
    and it should propagate to others soon.

    That's right. For 5.x, it is fairly straightforward:

        # cd /usr/src
        # patch < /path/to/patch
        # cd /usr/src/lib/libtelnet
        # make obj && make depend && make
        # cd /usr/src/usr.bin/telnet
        # make obj && make depend && make && make install

    But 4.x has no less than four possible telnet clients that might be
    installed depending upon local settings of NOCRYPT, MAKE_KERBEROS4,
    MAKE_KERBEROS5, and probably others :-/

    Cheers,
