Hi, I am the systems administrator for my company and I have been trying to 
find a way to shut down ftp access to our server.  This would entail 
finding an alternative file transfer protocol, such as some sort of GUI-scp 
or a combination of netatalk and samba(?) or something else.

What I really want to know is if there are any place (or anyone) that will 
tell me the vulnerabilities of using netatalk.  I am convinced that it is 
an improvement over ftp, but I am not convinced that I should implement 
it.  Furthermore, we just moved our server and though I have not compiled 
pam_smb or anything, the chooser menu says that the passwords are encripted 
(whereas before it use to be clear-text).  I think this is due to the new 
kernel, but can anyone enlighten me on this?

Thanks in advance.
