MIT Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence Laboratory
>Environment:
System: FreeBSD khavrinen.csail.mit.edu 9.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE #15 r245182: Tue Jan 8 18:09:56 EST 2013 wollman@khavrinen.csail.mit.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/KHAVRINEN amd64

>Description:

I upgraded openssh-portable from 5.7 to 6.2 and started getting errors
on ssh_config and sshd_config.  Investigating, I found that the
GSSAPIKeyExchange support had gone missing, and this is not reported
in /usr/ports/UPDATING or elsewhere that I could find.  Large sites
like ours absolutely depend on this functionality (which also includes
rekey-on-ticket-renewal and store-tickets-on-rekey functions to keep
long-running sessions authenticated).

>How-To-Repeat:

Upgrade openssh-portable.  Notice that the GSSAPIKeyExchange parameter
causes config file parsing to error out.

>Fix:

RedHat forward-ported the patch from 5.7 to 6.2 and with a few
modifications I made theirs work, but I'm not sure what the legal
status of this patch is.  You can find it by searching for
"openssh-6.2p1-gsskex.patch".
