ssh (port:openssh) is not Kerberized

[shreevatsa.public@…]

I have not investigated this, but the openssh installed by the port openssh (which git-core depends on, that's why I had it installed) does not use existing Kerberos tickets. I was wondering for a long time why my Kerberos had suddenly broken and I was having to type my password when ssh-ing each time. Using the Apple-provided /usr/bin/ssh instead, everything worked. I don't know what the fix is or how hard it is, maybe simply upgrading ssh (#14925) will fix it, maybe it's a config file setting, maybe a compile-time option...

openssh from upstream is only partially kerberized (unlike openssh as you get from most vendors such as Apple or Debian). The fix is to apply the patch at ​http://www.sxw.org.uk/computing/patches/openssh.html This is a *very* common patch to apply to openssh. Please apply it so that I can have both git & kerberized ssh at the same time on my mac!

If the comment by tolsen from 2 years ago is right, then the fix is just to apply "a *very* common patch", and it's a mystery why this bug is still open. Anyway, I'm not using MacPorts anymore so I'm not affected by the bug anymore. :-)

Not sure it's still of interest, but I think patches for this and some other apple-specific features like keychain integration are included in #27250 for openssh currently in macports (5.9p1).

Probably (hopefully) done in r91536 as well as #27250
