There are 3 ways that GSSAPI can be used to authenticate an ssh connection.
The Fedora Core 3 ssh client only supports one of them, the
'gssapi-with-mic' ssh userauth mechanism. It does not support GSSAPI ssh
key exchange or the 'gssapi' ssh userauth mechanism. If you want this ssh
client to work with the server, the server must support this mechanism.
