Using FBSD telnet between 2 FBSD boxes. 
Telnet ip_address  displays this message 
'Trying SRA secure login'
I enter my ID & password on remote site
Then get this message
'SRA accepts you'

I checked the 'man telnet' & 'man telnetd'
They say that telnet can use AUTHENTICATION and do 
data encryption, but not a word about SRA.

What is SRA? 
Is the id and password passed as clear text?
Where is the documentation on SRA?
Where is the documentation on using these 
options to make telnet secure?
