Re: patch to gssapi server authentication to accept any server

[Allen Sturtevant]

Did this patch ever get included in the CVS distribution?

If so, I cannot find it.  :-)  How to I access this option?

If not, is it planned for inclusion?

I could use this to keep my CVS repository "portable".

Thank you,

Allen
