[bug #14506] CVS 1.12.12 GSSAPI hang

[Serguei E Leontiev]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #14506 (project cvs):

Hi Derek,

I submit to bugzilla new version patch. Main goal this version - add simple
use regression tests for `gserver'.

1. I add to sanity.sh test `gserver'. This test create "Kerberos 5 sand-box
EXAMPLE.COM", and don't needed to Kerberos 5 infrastrukture. May be Your able
start this test on yours personal computer;

2. Compile gserver/client for Solaris 9/10;

3. Repair detected bugs.

TODO:
This patch not ideal, but ideal solution need to improve other part of CVS.
This need to discussion:

a. Regress test need local user `client'. Because gserver authentication
start without root definition, gserver_authenticate_connection() can't use
CVSROOT/passwd for user maping. May be add command line option for point of
CVSROOT/passwd?

b. May be add documentation for gserver? Informationly I may 
add it, but languge :(.

c. Windows ports don't have gserver. Do you need add SSPI to CVS? This medium
work - 6-12 weeks.

d. Root command worked without any protection. May be start
encryption/indegrity check immediate after authentification by option `-x'
and `-a'?

For additional information see patchs for ChangeLog files.

Sorry for my best English.
