    GSSAPI support has been in OpenSSH since 3.7, based on a subset of Simon
    Wilkinson's work.

    It has recently been replaced by "gssapi-with-mic" (also from Simon) but
    not being a Kerberos person I'm not sure what the difference is.

        Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
    usually comes from bad judgement.
