Basic RFC 2228 support is already present in Pure-FTPd with support for
using SSL/TLS. However, as of now, only control channel protection is
available. Data channel remains unprotected. 

We at Novell are in the process of adding support to Pure-FTPd for
using GSS-API as specified in RFC 2228. Then, using GSS-API, you can use
Kerberos for authentication of FTP users. Also, support for control
channel & data channel protection using the same GSS-API will be
present. In addition to these, authorization using local files
(/etc/passwd) and via LDAP will be supported.
