Kerberos/GSSAPI--- C++

[Fred Dushin]

I'm sort of confused here.  First, I don't think there are any  
officially defined C++ bindings for the GSSAPI.  Then again, I'm not  
an expert in this area. [1]

But more to the point, you're in a C++ environment -- you can call "C"  
APIs without any difficulty (assuming you obey ISO C conventions, and  
you don't let your C++ training interfere (testing against 0 instead  
of NULL, etc).

What am I missing?

[1] I will say, however, that I've implemented a loose set of C++ APIs  
for using the GSSAPI -- these interfaces were based loosely off the  
JGSS, at least in terms of their structure.  They formed a simple  
facade around the C bindings, and the implementation of these  
interfaces made direct calls on the C APIs.  All they really provided  
was some C++-style state and memory management -- nothing spectacular  
to write home about, and clearly not rocket science.  Unfortunately,  
this code is not my property, so I can't share it.
