The patch below adds support for the deprecated 'gssapi' authentication mechanism to OpenSSH 3.8p1. The newer 'gssapi-with-mic' mechanism is included in this release. The use of 'gssapi' is deprecated due to the presence of potential man-in-the-middle attacks, which 'gssapi-with-mic' is not susceptible to. To use the patch apply it to a OpenSSH 3.8p1 source tree. After compiling, backwards compatibility may be obtained by supplying the 'GssapiEnableMitmAttack yes' option to either the client or server. It should be noted that this patch is being made available purely as a means of easing the process of moving to OpenSSH 3.8p1. Any new installations are recommended to use the 'gssapi-with-mic' mechanism. Existing installations are encouraged to upgrade as soon as possible.
