System: SunOS sweet-transvestite.mit.edu 5.7 Generic_106541-09 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10
Architecture: sun4
>Description:
Attempting to use the krb5 ftp client to connect to a port
higher than 32767 results in:
[zacheiss@sweet-transvestite] ~$ ftp localhost 32768
localhost: bad port number-- 32768
usage: ftp host-name [port]

>How-To-Repeat:
Use the krb5 ftp client to connect to an ftp server running on a
port higher than 32767.
>Fix:
setpeer() in krb5/src/appl/gssftp/ftp/cmds.c declres the
variable port to be a short. It should be an unsigned short;
see the enclosed patch.
