== More on the Solaris ssh stuff

I discovered today that the unpatched Solaris ssh program doesn't
understand the 'GSSAPIKeyExchange' and 'GSSAPIAuthentication'
configuration options that are [[necessary to fix the problem
FixingSolarisSsh]] on the patched ssh. (I had them in a
_$HOME/.ssh/config_ file that was shared between a patched system and an
unpatched system.)

So what appears to have happened is that Sun developed a new version of
ssh that implements the GSS stuff, and as a result requires it and the
Kerberos stuff to be installed and configured and so on. This is the
'new' ssh included in patch 114356-07 (but not in the -06 version of the
same patch) that requires 112908-24 ('SunOS 5.9: krb5, gss Patch').

Later, Sun saw some problems and yanked all mention of current versions
of patch 112908 from the patchdiag.xref file, thereby making 114356-07
uninstallable without special magic. However, they did not actually
withdraw either 114356-07 or 112908-24 (and in fact 114356-07 remains
marked as a recommended patch).

(Some investigation also shows that installing patch 117177 (mentioned
in the README for 114356-07) does not help the problem any.)
