Hi, I have a commit to add support for host-based (Kerberos would call these "service") principal initiator credentials to the kgssapi and krpc. It requires an additional call into the kgssapi, which means a change to the kernel api used to communicate with the kgssapi module (not used by anything else). What I am not sure of is whether or not this change requires a bump to __FreeBSD_version? (I think it would be possible to crash if the kernel is updated, but the kgssapi module is not.) Btw, I do not plan on MFCing this patch, so the above only applies to head/current. Thanks in advance for any help with this, rick
