Ftp-WG: status of rfc 2228

Paul,

I think we have a little misunderstanding here.  The discussion skipped
smartly from RFC 2228 to the FTP-over-SSL draft
(draft-murray-auth-ftp-ssl-12.txt), by virtue of a message from Alun Jones
which hasn't arrived here yet.  RFC 2228 is, as you say, a standards-track
document, and there's nothing more to do unless someone wants to advance it
to Draft Standard.  The SSL draft is another story, and it's that story
which Jeff was trying to clarify.

Right, I realize that. I was saying that that draft was the
product of another working group, evidently the Network Working
Group (according to the RFC). I remember it coming up for 
discussion in our group briefly when it was submitted for
proposed standard. By then the work was complete in the other
group.

That said, I don't mind submitting it from this group to
advance it, if their is consensus. Someone should contact the
authors and see if there are any revisions which should be 
made. The same question should go to any implementors.
