Hi Trond,

I'm looking at extracting out the gssapi/krb5 support from the sunrpc
package
in the kernel into a common library under crypto/ so that afs (and
anyone else
- cifs, maybe) can use it too.  Are you willing to entertain that
idea - or is
that a definite no for you?

Moving the code out of net/sunrpc into a shared directory would be fine
with me.
Note, though, that what's there is a rather old port of the MIT
kerberos library that was done by CITI around 2001/2002 (IIRC), so it
might be due for an update at some point.
