Hi Trond,
I'm looking at extracting out the gssapi/krb5 support from the sunrpc package
in the kernel into a common library under crypto/ so that afs (and anyone else
- cifs, maybe) can use it too. Are you willing to entertain that idea - or is
that a definite no for you?
David

Moving the code out of net/sunrpc into a shared directory would be fine
with me.
Note, though, that what's there is a rather old port of the MIT
kerberos library that was done by CITI around 2001/2002 (IIRC), so it
might be due for an update at some point.

Would be nice to allocate legitimate SPDX tags for those old licenses
if that code isn't going to be replaced.
