I can only assume it's related to what they think they're doing.  Remote
accessing other machines and accessing files/email seem to be two different
things.  I'm not sure files and email necessarily give the sense of it being a
remote resource in the same way.

Remote Desktop on windows doesn't use kerberos does it?

Working GSSAPI scares the willies out of windows users when they're not used
to it.

I got bit by that one also and a little googling did the trick :)  Must 
be a change to PuTTy's default config as many other updates to it over 
the years didn't behave like that.

Hi there --

Thanks for everyone's replies. I do have putty 0.61, and I went ahead
with Matt's suggestion. Once that was done, I logged into the server that
was the subject of my posting, and the false positive did not appear.

I had a similar issue with PuTTY after upgrading to v 0.61.  I
disabled Attempt GSSAPI atuthentication (SSH-2 only) under
Connection>SSH>GSSAPI.

I get that when I'm using PuTTY with pageant, automatically presenting an ssh 
key, which the server I'm connecting to doesn't
recognise.

Maybe something like that?
