To the best of my knowledge, there is no such thing as a "stock ftp of
linux". I'm going to assume that you are referring to the FTP daemon
that comes with the MIT Kerberos implementation.

The best source of information is probably the manpage. In general,
though, you just need to add it to inetd/xinetd with the proper
arguments (I use "-l -a"), and add the proper principal to your KDC and
keytab.

User access is, like all other parts of any UNIX/Linux system,
controlled via file modes (see the chmod manpage for more info).

The ftpd that comes with MIT Kerberos automatically chroots anonymous
access to the home directory of the "ftp" user.

Hope it helps,
