My vote is to drop the patch.

If the patch is applied, my vote is to have GSSAPI options disabled by default.

Hello.

Currently OpenSSH in OpenIndiana supports GSSAPIKeyExchange option
and enables it by default
(support for authenticating server via GSSAPI - alternative to
distributing server ssh keys) -
http://www.sxw.org.uk/computing/patches/openssh.html .
This is a separate patch (but widespread one - it is supported by Debian and
RedHat).

The issue is that if DNS is misconfigured on client side, it can lead to long
delays
while connecting to ssh server.

The question is - who does really use this option on OI? Can we just drop this
patch
(or at least disable it by default) without significant impact on user systems?
