hello

i would like again open discussion about $subj.

in fact, we have in mandrake distro started from 8.0 kerberized telnet
and ftp services. it is ok, for kerberized networks, but i think that
this isn't optimal for most of mandrake servers..

my general argument, why these packages could be replaced with non
kerberized versions is that these kerberized services don't have pam
support and this is general inconsistency in fully pam-ified distro, as
mandrake is.

i nominate for non kerberized ftp client my likemftp package which is in
contrib. this is solid ftp client, which is default client into netbsd
distribution
i don't know, what telnet daemons is available with pam functionality,
but i hope that "only one" must exists :)




but your package will not support kerberos authentication, right ? so, if
we move it in the main distro ... we will have to rename the existing ftp
package. Maybe you would like to move entire kerberos in the contribs ...
but the krb5libs are required for plenty of packages ... so, any ideas,
solutions ?


The way forward should be to include more kerberized applications. Actually, mdk might consider making the distro as kerberized (or AD compliant) as possible. The customer I'm working for is looking for this.
