kerberos

Hello,

I need to configure ftpd on a CentOS 5.3 host to allow anonymous ftp (upload and download) from a well defined directory.

I wish the setup to be as simple as possible, and to introduce as little new dependencies as possible.

Scanning the current server configuration, I found the ftpd server that comes as part of the Kerberos workstation:

> rpm -ql krb5-workstation | grep ftpd$
/usr/kerberos/sbin/ftpd

Is there any reason I could or should not use this ftp server?
