openssh unix dev - Dec 2001 - gssapi + seam on solaris

i've compiled openssh with the gssapi patches on a solaris 8 system
using sun's SEAM.  gssapi isn't initializing properly it seems.

debug2: input_userauth_request: try method gssapi
debug1: Mechanism negotiation is not supported
Failed gssapi for xxxx from xxxx port 33555 ssh2

sun's kerberized tools are working fine.

any help would be appreciated.

As far as I'm aware, no-one has yet tested these patches with SEAM. I'd
be
_very_ interested in getting this working.

This indicates that the client is trying to establish a gssapi connection 
when it has no supported GSSAPI mechanisms. This is rather wierd, and can 
only result from a compile time configuration problem. It looks like GSSAPI 
is being enabled, but no mechanisms (either KRB5 or GSI) are being added.
Looking at my additions to configure, I'm not sure how this can happen!

that
things won't work "out of the box", but if you've got time to
investigate
that would be greatly appreciated!

Could you send me a copy of the output from running configure? Also, if you 
could let me see the section of config.h that lists the GSSAPI related 
defines, that would be good.
