How do others "authenticate" their outbound ftp/telnet traffic?

I need to be able to force my users to authenticate first before being allowed to use outbound ftp.

Cisco's built in method really does not satisfy this need. First off, it doesn't work with all methods of ftp and secondly, you have to have "users" know to type in such things as local username@remote username for the username and local password@remote password for the password.

I'm not sure how bright everyone elses users are but trying to get doctors to remember a password is hard enough without this kind of crap.

Just wondering if anyone else has found a better method of authentication/authorization to use.

Thanks,

Trent Martin
