It sounds like one of two things:

 . either you did not update your /etc/inetd.conf file to specify 
   that the new kerberos telnetd should be used instead of the
   default OS telnetd, or

 . you did not restart inetd and so the old telnetd is still being
   used, or

 . your principal name does not match the username on the machine
   you are logging into, or

 . you do not have any kerberos credentials on the telnet client end
   and therefore kerberos negotiation is not taking place, or

 . you are not using the kerberos telnet client.
