retitle 89568 ITA: ssh-nonfree thanks >From my point of view, ssh-nonfree has one very important advantage over OpenSSH: one can built it to support Kerberos 5 authentication and ticket forwarding. (This feature is very useful when connecting to machines at MIT, particularly given that ssh supports X connection forwarding and MIT krb5 has no equivalent of Heimdal's kxd.)
I have looked into patches for OpenSSH, but found nothing useful -- not too surprising, given that the authentication types it uses for Kerberos *4* are the same as the authentication types ssh-nonfree originally used for krb5. :-/ I'm not an official developer, but would be interested in becoming one and making this my first official package. -- Aaron M.
