RE: [ftpext] Last Call: <draft-ietf-ftpext2-hosts-02.txt> (File Transfer

Thanks, Paul.

I believe that I have addressed all of your comments with the following actions:

--------------------
Section 3:
--------------------

> Surely the first SHOULD has to be a MUST.
> Otherwise we have a situation where, upon
> receipt of a valid HOST, some server
> implementations will implicitly REIN and
> clear AUTH/USER/ACCT and some will not.
Agreed - I changed that verbiage.

--------------------
Section 3.2:
--------------------

> I suggest that either the "wrapper" concept is
> dropped from the document altogether...
I removed that verbiage. (That was detail for a possible server implementation 
anyway.)

--------------------
Section 3.2.2:
--------------------

> should be "to negotiate the security mechanism
> and relevant authentication token(s)"
I changed that as well.

--------------------
Section 4
--------------------

> The "strong method of encryption" is a bit
> vague. I don't think we can publish this
> paragraph without being more explicit about
> what this really means. 
I removed that paragraph. By way of explanation, this was in reference a server 
implementation detail that in hindsight probably shouldn't be in this document. 
More specifically, some FTP servers and clients support Implicit FTPS, but that 
is not defined by RFC and lately considered deprecated, so it's best to just 
remove that information.

> I repeat my initial point - this has to be a MUST.
Agreed - I changed that verbiage.

> I would like some mention of the linkage
> between the identity returned in an X.509
> certificate and the parameter to the HOST
> command at the protocol specification level.
I have attached a new version of the draft that contains suggested wording for 
this request, with all of the other changes that I have addressed as well.


Thanks!

Robert
