The MIT Kerberos Team is proud to announce the availability of MIT
Kerberos V5 Release 1.0.4.  This release is a bug-fix release only;
there are no feature enhancements over the 1.0.3 release.
The following bugs were fixed:

* A typo in krlogind.c that caused rd_and_store_for_creds to be called
with the wrong arguments has been fixed.

* Telnetd now has the forwarded credentials security hole fixed as well.

* An incorrect buffer length in telnetd has been corrected.

* The KDC now verifies that strings to be logged are non-NULL prior to
syslogging.

* A fencepost error in the pty library has been corrected.

* The pty library no longer tries to chown a zero-length filename.
