For the curious it is possible to install all of the SRP suite on this site
and it works quite nicely. Packaging it would be a seperate can of worms since
the source provides many executables and at least one library. Not a good
source to package if you are a beginner. It contains an SRP enabled Telnet and
FTP client along with SRP enabled services and PAM module.
Good Luck,

When choice matters, choose Debian.
