Hi,

I have setup a MIT kerberos environment. But I meet a problem with numeric host 
address support.

1. The kdc runs on linux server, debian testing latest, openssh 6.0p1, mit 
kerberos 1.10.1.
2. A DNS A RR points to linux server, as "kdc = xxx"
3. Windows client: Win7 64bit, putty 0.62, kfw-3-2-2
4. MacOS X client: OSX 10.6.x
5. Linux client: debian testing latest
6. In krb5.conf or krb5.ini,  "rdns = false" and in ssh_config, "GSSAPITrustDNS = 
no"
7. The server has a host/ip@REALM principal in kdc and /etc/krb5.keytab

From Windows and OSX clients, we can login to linux server with "ssh root@ip" 
by principal, but
from linux, kerberos always fails and then fallback to password

"debug1: Unspecified GSS failure.  Minor code may provide more information
Cannot determine realm for numeric host address"

At first, I think it is openssh's problem. But I trace it into 
ssh_gssapi_init_ctx() then gss_init_sec_context()
from libgssapi_krb5.so.  It's beyond my affordable time to play with this beast.

Can anyone has a solution?

It seems like you may be hitting the getaddrinfo issue mentioned in debian bug #697662 (which is http://krbdev.mit.edu/rt/Ticket/Display.html?id=7124&user=guest&pass=guest ). This issue is addressed in my version of the debian packaging (http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-k5-afs/debian-krb5.git;a=summary) but I don't have an ETA for when it will be uploaded to debian.

P.S. There is KfW 4.0.1 out now; 3.2.2 is quite old.
