Thanks for helping me to solve my problem about kerberos and openssh. I have installed required rpms for Rh7.1 : openssh-2.9p2-1eds.i386.rpm openssh-server-2.9p2-1eds.i386.rpm openssh-client-2.9p2-1eds.i386.rpm from Simon Wilkinsn Site. I have configured sshd_config and ssh_config to enable kerberos Authentication but I have got the same error in running sshd: Bad configuration option : kerberos Authentication I have installed openssh-3.0.2p1 and related patches for kerberos (openssh-3.0.2p1-krb5.patch and openssh-3.0.2p1-gssapi.patch ) In compiling I have enabled kerberos but it gives me an error for " not finding krb.h " .So I couldn't install openssh3.0.2 from tar file. If I am wrong in some phases please tell me , or any suggestions ? I really appritiate any help. Regards.
