Re: GSSAPI security context integrity check

Hello,

just to let you know about the progress of the things...
it looks like issue specific to Solaris at the moment.

    we've got a dtrace output, which shows security context export/import
    is involved. I suspect there are multiple SAP processes. One of them
    accepts security context, exports it and passes to worker process, which
    imports it. I've noticed there is a Solaris specific diff, which deals
    context serialization. Therefore I think the issue might be specific to
    Solaris.  I'll send pull request in case the  investigation will reveal
    it's bug in MIT kerberos.
