Yes, it's possible, and you don't need Simon's OpenSSH/GSS patches to do
this. IIRC OpenSSH has this as a builtin feature (you may need Simon's
OpenSSH MIT/Heimdal compat patches for that to work). But you can also
use OpenSSH with PAM and a PAM_KRB5 module, if you have PAM (and a
suitable PAM_KRB5 module).
