I can only get ssh password authentication to work to win10, I don't 
have the GSSAPI lines, from my searching, it doesn't look like they have 
kerberos working yet (and this is on Windows), it also worked for myself 
without commenting anything out. It might help if they got their 
documentation uptodate, I found bits here and there.
