Re: need help building openssh 3.6.1p2

Hi Cesar, Atro,

we have a very similar problem. We want to get rid of krb4 part in OpenSSH and just have OpenAFS and using the afs mechanisms of communication. In order to do as few source changes to OpenSSH as possible, I wrote wrappers which map krb4 calls to OpenAFS calls concerning the token transfer. I did not bother with ticket transfers. Some additional #ifdef are required and some definitions "stolen" from krb4 source are in an additional .h file. I have a working version for Solaris 8, which cooperates with the standard afs/krb4 version of OpenSSH on other boxes. I actually wanted to check/port for some more platforms before offering it to OpenSSH. The actual aim, which also works between the Solaris8 boxes running the modified version of OpenSSH, is, token transfer works with protocol version 2. BUT THIS IS STILL EXPERIMENTAL. It required a request afs-req analogous to x11-req, and I am not yet sure about, whether I did it the right way. I wanted to have done more work before offering it. Due to very limited resources I did not yet have time for that. But if anybody else is interested or would like to help with that work, now this is your chance. The diff -c patch is only 30k in size.
