Still working on my gss patch. Here a more polished patch against rsync-3.0.3. It should work out of the box. I tested it on Solaris 10 x86 (64 bits compilation), Mac OS 10.5 (32 but not 64 bits), Linux (Gentoo with MIT Kerberos 64 bits). To use it : add this to your module configuration : use gssapi = yes auth users = <list of kerberos principals>
