>Description:

	(The following suggestions are based on the behavior of the
	SGI IRIX ftp daemon; I find them both very useful.)

	Kerberos ftpd does not support "restricted" ftp users.  These
	are users that are listed in the "/etc/ftpusers" file, along
	with the keyword "restrict".  The "restrict" keyword tells ftpd
	(or some ftpds, anyway) that the user is allowed access, but that
	ftpd is to do a chroot to this user's home directory before 
	allowing access.  Kerberos ftpd only supports "chroot" for the 
	specific case of anonymous ftp user.

	Kerberos ftpd also does not support extended loggin ("-ll" option)
	which logs all file transfer commands (get, put, etc.) as well
	as mkdir, delete and rename commands.  These are very useful for
	the case where more than one user has write file access.

>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:
	
>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:
	Kerberos ftpd does not support restricted login or extended logging
