Hello Stephen,

in a heterogeneous environment with a server running on linux and a mix of clients running on windows and linux, would you not want to use GSSAPI?

Thanks.

We always build with SSPI on Windows platforms.

You don't really need (or want) GSSAPI on Windows systems because we've
got SSPI there..

Is there some reason that people are trying to get GSSAPI on Windows
instead of just using SSPI..?  I'd expect that to be very rare these
days..

Thanks!

Stephen
