--- Comment #5 from Simon Wilkinson <simon at sxw.org.uk>  2008-03-21 21:27:10 ---
This patch looks fine.

There's two issues here:

*) The Kerberos GSSAPI code uses a function that isn't strictly part of
the GSS API, gss_krb5_copy_cache. Both the MIT and Heimdal GSSAPI
libraries provide this function as part of their libgssapi

*) When adding NFSv4 support, UMich wrote a new 'libgssapi' wrapper
library. Unfortunately, this isn't as generic as the name suggests, and
doesn't implement the full GSS API. We need to avoid picking up this
library.

The patch will work in systems which have (MIT + Umich) libgssapis
installed. I suspect it won't work only systems with (Heimdal + Umich)
installed (as both the Heimdal and UMich libraries are called
libgssapi). I can't see any easy way of making it work in that case.

Simon.
