I just discovered that the problem is cured by using a "-u" option to
ftp, instead of the normal "-n" that ange-ftp uses.
"-u" means "do not auto-athenticate and do not auto-login"
You can set ange-ftp-ftp-program-args to specify -n.
Is that sufficient, or do you want some further feature?
The way the kerberised ftp currently behaves is incompatible with ftp,
and a program using it (ange-ftp) should first test it to see which
version it is.
I don't know whether this is a feasible thing to do, but if someone
implements it and it works smoothly, this would be good to install.
