I've been handed this ticket.

The client side behavior will be handled using GSS_C_DELEG_POLICY_FLAG
as specified in
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-lha-gssapi-delegate-policy-04 .  Code
from Apple has already been committed to handle the flag, and I am
working on the cross-realm handling now.  I don't yet have specific
plans to use the flag in any client program.

That leaves the KDC support.  Sam wanted us to use the same user-visible
flag name as the Sandia patch, but I honestly think it will be less
confusing if we remain consistent with the RFC (ok-as-delegate) than if
we use the redundant-seeming "allow-ok-as-delegate" name.  What do the
people from Sandia think?  Will it be particularly traumatic to switch
to a different name for setting the flag in kadmin?
