	Hi,

	I need to use the Kerberos implementation of the ftpd on Solaris SPARC 64bit platform for transfer of large files (> 2GB). I tryed with ftpd from the MIT Kerberos V 1.3.6 distribution, but it is impossible.
	Initially I got the error "Value too large for defined data type". Then I rebuilt the ftpd (in fact the hole Kerberos distribution) with compiler flag -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 and the error disappeared but after the transfer of exactly 2GB of any file bigger than 2GB, the ftpd server closes the connection.

	Any help and ideas are welcome.

	Thanks in advance!

		Vladimir
