Notes on "Secure FTP" Implementation
===============================================

===============================================

This implementation is supplied by Cygnus Support for inclusion in the MIT
Kerberos V5 Release.

The original BSD ftp implementation is:

History and Credits (as of 1995 Jan 14)
================================================

Steve Lunt at Bellcore developed the original V4 kerberized ftp. He
also started writing the IETF ftpsec draft at the time. This was
available to the public, and Cygnus eventually incorporated it into
CNS V4.

Steve Lunt left Bellcore, and dropped out of the computer security
field altogether, after handing the draft off to Marc Horowitz at
OpenVision, who was working on a commercial GSSAPI implementation.

Marc Horowitz left OpenVision and is back at MIT currently; in the
mean time, Cygnus took the V4 ftp and upgraded it to use GSSAPI and
draft-08, as well as integrating it into the Kerberos V5 autoconf
based configuration scheme.

Bill Schoofs <wjs@cray.com> supplied corrections to the implementation
to more correctly match draft 8, as well as correcting some of the
remaining KERBEROS_V4 code.

Karri Balk - Contractor <kbalk@cup.hp.com> supplied additional
corrections based on interoperation testing with non-free
implementations.

Marc Horowitz has indicated that a draft 9 is forthcoming, with some
clarifications based on experience with this implementation.

No other free implementation of draft-8 is known at this time.
