           Summary: Detect auth configuration failures and don't count them
                    against the client
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: -current
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Kerberos support
        AssignedTo: bitbucket at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: simon at sxw.org.uk


The attached patch allows authentication procedures to signal that
an authentication failure is caused by misconfiguration on the server,
rather than erroneous information from the client, and so not count
that
authentication failure against the client.

It is particularly useful when servers are configured with
GSSAPIAuthentication
on, and the required keytab is not provided by the server
administrator.
