I have a draft version of the RFC that I'm writing for Kerberos V5 FTP.
This is not yet in Internet-Draft standard.
I've also implemented this design but that software is the property
of my employer....so I can't release it. Sometime in the near future
I might port it to a generic version and make that available.
