I tried much but didn't succeed. How do you connect using GSSAPI with s4 
as client (didn't figure out)?

This task should take Nadja since it will require some ACL checking

characters and the test should show, that we always get "unwilling to 
perform" if we haven't specified the hash control.

I think that's my biggest work until now for s4. But it's a very needed one.
