of releases. The -DNOCRYPT build option still exists for anyone who
really wants to build non-cryptographic binaries, but the "crypto"
release distribution is now part of "base", and anyone installing from a
release will get cryptographic binaries.

Discussed on: freebsd-current, in late April 2004
Previously, there were two copies of telnet; a non-crypto version
that lived in the usual places, and a crypto version that lived in
crypto/telnet/. The latter was built in a broken manner somewhat akin
to other "contribified" sources. This meant that there were 4 telnets
competing with each other at build time - KerberosIV, Kerberos5,
plain-old-secure and base. KerberosIV is no longer in the running, but
the other three took it in turns to jump all over each other during a
"make buildworld".
As the crypto issue has been clarified, and crypto _calls_ are not
a problem, crypto/telnet has been repo-copied to contrib/telnet,
and with this commit, all telnets are now "contribified". The contrib
path was chosen to not destroy history in the repository, and differs
from other contrib/ entries in that it may be worked on as "normal"
BSD code. There is no dangerous crypto in these sources, only a
very weak system less strong than enigma(1).
Kerberos5 telnet and Secure telnet are now selected by using the usual
macros in /etc/make.conf, and the build process is unsurprising and
less treacherous.
o This option is not available outside of the United States and Canada.
o Because of export controls, TELNET ENCRYPT option is not supported outside
of the United States and Canada.
src/crypto/README revision 1.5 commit log says:
> Crypto sources are no longer export controlled:
> Explain, why crypto sources are still in crypto/.
and actually telnet encryption is used outside of US and Canada now.

is not exploitable because telnet doesn't run with elevated privs.
Didn't fix all the other potential buffer overflows. Would be a good
task for someone who has lots of time to carefully study each case
because cut and paste solutions are dangerous for this code base.
Added $FreeBSD$ in the same way that command.c did it.
