But why to do so?
passing GSS_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVIVE
to gss_import_name() makes the GSSAPI do this work
internally.

What's the problem in detail?
Are there any major/minor statuscodes that should be
reported by gss_display_status()?

Sure :-D
Initiallly I wrote that the main problem is to know
where to put the GSSAPI-Tokens...

Hmmmm.
Is it sure that the server really suppert Kerberos5 login?
How can that be answered to be really sure what works
and what does not work?

I know, I have promised to to some "reverse engineering"
myself.
But I am too busy at the moment...
I am sorry for beeing less helpful.

Thank you very much for doing that work!
