Exactly.  ssh 1.2.x certainly has lots of problems, but 2.4 and 3.x aren't
without their own problems.  OpenSSH at least doesn't have all the licensing
confusion that ssh 2.x and 3.x does, but it's not perfect either.  I think
it will be the way to go eventually, though.

Since the original supplicant was asking about krb5 & ssh, it's also
worth noting that there are (were?) interoperability problems between ssh
2.x and OpenSSH when both are compiled with Kerberos 5 support.  That may
or may not help you decide what direction to go for ssh + krb5.

While we're on the subject, is anyone doing ssh (any version) with
cross-realm authenatication (in krb5)?
