While this is a nice thing to do ... why would anyone ever have had to
have an account on the proxy host? You don't need one to use tn-gw and
ftp-gw! Get those accounts off the proxy host - they're diminishing
your security!
Having said that ... can you send me pointers to the source code for
the various ports?
OBTW .. the TIS product, Gauntlet, also allows transparent FTP and
telnet. And it's supported. But it's not free. ;-)
