Bug 558184 – net-misc/openssh: add GSSAPIKeyExchange patch

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Johan Jönsson 2015-08-19 17:09:36 UTC]

I am trying to connect to a server that uses Kerberos authentification, via SSH. However I need to enable the option "GSSAPIKeyExchange" for this to work. This option is not recognized by OpenSSH.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to connect via SSH using "GSSAPIKeyExchange yes"
Actual Results:  
I get the error message 
"Bad configuration option: gssapikeyexchange
terminating, 1 bad configuration option"

Expected Results:  
Logged me in to the remote computer.

I think there is a patch for OpenSSH that adds the "GSSAPIKeyExchange" configuration option.

Do you have the kerberos USE flag enabled for openssh?

Yes, I have enabled the kerberos USE flag for the entire system, and I have re-emerged openSSH.

sorry, but no, that patch is way too large, and it's not up-to-date (last release is for 5.7).  see the github diff:

you can always write your own patch and apply it via epatch_user
