Hello, Thanks for the report. Unfortunately the answer may not exactly be the one you were looking for. We have been seriously considering dropping programs like ftp, ftpd, telnet and telnetd from Heimdal, as they they are no longer maintained, either upstream or in Debian. They also have known security issues (e.g. weak encryption protocols), and the protocols used were poorly designed. As such, if possible, I recommend that you use something more up-to-date and secure, such as Kerberos over ssh/scp/sftp or Kerberos over http instead. -- Brian May <[email protected]>
