I've ported and extended Tomas Svensson's NetBSD patches for ftpd that
let it do "FTP using TLS", according to the Internet Draft
"draft-murray-auth-ftp-ssl-05.txt". I've also extended it slightly to
support "Implicit SSL", as well as "Explicit SSL" (the I-D spec).

Most of the commercial FTP clients support both of these mechanisms, and
there are several free clients that support them, as well. I really
need a way to grant non-shell users file transfer access, and this fits
the bill, nicely.

I'd really like to get this into the code base. Is anyone interested in
looking at the patch? Or should I just file a PR? I'd hate to have the
PR sit around for a long time, because the patch is extensive enough
that it could rot relatively quickly.

Thanks,
    Glenn Trewitt
