cygwin open ssh + kfw tips sought

[Stuart Brown]

Hi,

I would like to use the cygwin Open SSH with MIT kfw.  Has anyone done 
this, if so I would appreciate some tips.

My initial naive attempts have not worked yet, I am continuing to work 
on it. But if anyone can share their experience it may save me some time.

In one place I found someone suggesting that OpenSSH on cygwin has to be 
rebuilt with gssapi support, but this does not seem to be the case as it 
does not complain about the gssapi options when I use them.

I am kind of curious about how Open SSH could find a gssapi provider ( 
ie kfw  ) on my box if it has not been specifically built with the lib 
or import files and also worry about ABI compatibility. I have only a 
dim knowledge of linking on windows.

klist shows I have tickets, but they don't seem to be getting used, ssh 
is falling back to public key and passsword auth. I can post debugging 
information if this is the correct list for this kind of query. If not I 
would appreciate finding one that is.

Secure CRT or putty are not the answer for me. I am trying to solve a 
problem of numerous console windows popping up when using an svn plugin 
with eclipse and secure crt vsh. Open ssh offers master control 
connections and I want to try that to see if I can knock out the 
annoying windows popping up.

Thank you
