Architecture: i86pc

>Description:
If you try to connect to the MIT ftpd from a client that's connected
over a NAT server, the connection always fails.  This is true even if
you're using addressless tickets.  The message "failed accepting
context" appears in the system log of the server.
>How-To-Repeat:
See "Description"
>Fix:
Either of the two fixes contained in my message of 4-10-2002 to the
krbdev list (number 7042) would work.  So would Sam Hartman's
suggestion (4-11, number 7046) to simply turn off all address checking
in ftpd (presumably by having it always specify
GSS_C_NO_CHANNEL_BINDINGS to gss_accept_context()).  Sam Hartman's
suggestion is much simpler, and I actually now prefer it to either of
my own.
