Looking at the MIT Kerberos source, there is some mechglue contributed by Sun which is commented out in the makefiles. It doesn't look like it would compile, though, because the mechglue GSS functions take a context argument and the Kerberos V mechanism one's don't (they call kg_get_context() instead). Code was buggy as all heck, and so in the interests of stablizing the code base (especially since there wasn't another GSSAPI mechanism to dispatch against, so all it did was add overhead to no good purpose), I disabled it. If someone wants to try to get it working again, that would be great, but be warned that it doesn't necessary get all of the conversions between mechanism-tagged credentials, contexts, OID's, etc. and ones with the mechanism tagged removed to be passed off to the mechanism-specific GSSAPI implementation code. The code did indeed originally come from Sun, but I honestly hope it got seriously shaken down and bugfixed before it got integrated into Solaris..... - Ted
