I've tried to use sserver example (K5 API) along with gss-client example and
it fails at context initialization. At one step, the client has sent tokens
and wait for the server to reply. The server runs krb5_recvauth but this
function never returns, data sent by the client not being in the right
format i suppose.

I guess this is not supposed to work Is it the answer to my question, that
K5 API and GSS-API are not compatible ?
