           Summary: ssh_config missing default configuration values for
                    GSSAPI
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 3.9p1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: ssh
        AssignedTo: openssh-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: adam.bernstein at css-security.com


ssh_config does not contain default values for the configurable GSSAPI options,
as are found in sshd_config.  These entries are self-documenting comments that
assist the installer properly configure the software.  In the absence of any
documentation for how to configure GSSAPI in SSH, these comment tags in
ssh_config and sshd_config are essential for success.

One critical addition to ssh_config would be the following:

#GSSAPIAuthentication no
#GSSAPIDelegateCredentials no

>From a deeper inspection of readconf.c, it appears the ssh_config file has not
been maintained, and these informative default values do not appear for many
other configurable parameters.  Although my primary interest is GSSAPI, anyone
spending time to fix this issue should add all missing configurable tags to
ssh_config.
