OpenSSH currently only supports Kerberos v4. sorry. :-(

the Kerberos v5 support that was integrated into the original SSH was
based on my earlier Kerberos v4 patch - but it was implemented using the
same SSH auth protocol message types, so support for the two versions are
currently mutually exclusive. :-(

there may be some magic we can do to auto-detect/negotiate the version of
Kerberos being spoken, but i don't have any spare cycles to work on it
right now. any other Kerberos ppl willing to help?

Damien Miller is hosting one, at least until openssh.org is transferred to
the OpenSSH project. see http://violet.ibs.com.au/openssh/list.html
