Ted and others-
Here at the OSF, I am currently working on various gssapi scenarios =
using Kerberos 5 release 1 and have run into somewhat of a stumbling =
block within the kerberos gssapi.  Version 2 of the gssapi spec =
indicates support for a facility for use of per message protection while =
the return of  gss_init_sec_context() and gss_accept_sec_context is =
still in the continue_needed stage.  Does MIT have plans to roll out =
support for the prot_ready_state (GSS_C_PROT_READY_FLAG), necessary for =
(Un)Wrap and Get(Verify)MIC type calls during continue needed stage, =
within the k5 gssapi library in the foreseeable future?

Also, Ted you had indicated on CAT-IETF that  you were rolling in =
several gssapi functions that were yet to be implemented with the =
release of k51.0 for the next snapshot.  Any chance of any more info on =
what those functions are?

Thanks,
Andrew Gray
