Bug#687517: ITP: gsi-openssh -- secure shell client and server with GSI authentication



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Mattias Ellert <mattias.ellert@fysast.uu.se>

* Package name    : gsi-openssh
  Version         : 6.0p1
* URL             : 
* License         : 
  Description     : secure shell client and server with GSI authentication

The gsi-openssh package provides a modified openssh client and server
that supports Globus Security Infrastruction (GSI) authentication.
Since the GSI library, like kerberos, is implemented using the GSSAPI
interface, and linking to more than one GSSAPI implementation in the
same binary is not possible, this modified version does not support
kerberos authentication. This is also the reason why the GSI support
can not be added to the standard Debian openssh package.

If you need kerberos authentication the standard openssh client and
server packages should be used instead of this modified version.
