You do realize that we run ftpd with "-a off", right?  That's so users
will get credentials instead of just authenticating and not having any
privileges on the remote end.

We would like to have it use a "-a cred" like telnetd, so that if you
send forwarded credentials you get tickets and tokens, and don't have
to enter a username and password.  My understanding is that the gssftp
code in krb5 1.0 Just Doesn't Implement forwarded credentials right
now.
