Is there one that does BOTH?  We use both Krb5 authentication methods for
different uses here, so a solution that handles both would be perfect.

Yes, I can kinit, ksu, kadmin on this box just fine.

Yes, RSA/DSA keys work fine, but not Krb5 tickets.

Question, do you know if this patch worked with ssh.com SSH2 clients, or
just with OpenSSH clients?  As soon as I know which client to use, I'll
send the traces over... :)
