That is not entirely true.  Yes, the stock distribution does not have
Kerberos 5 support.  However, Simon Wilkinson wrote a patch, which uses
GSSAPI, to OpenSSH and this can be linked against the Kerberos 5 GSSAPI
libraries.  A sysadmin I work with is currently using this setup at
the ISP he runs.  I think this should be added to the stock distribution
(not sure why it hasn't yet).

Here is where the patch is located:
