Hi, since I installed my new mailserver with Kerberos auth only, I needed to implement GSSAPI support for Net::IMAP and sup.
I found the C bindings called ruby-gss at: http://devel.it.su.se/pub/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=1047&a=3790 Using them (and adding the wrap/unwrap methods for a context, see 03-ruby-gss.patch), it was relatively easy to implement GSSAPIAuthenticator (see 02-net_imap-gssapi.patch). The addition of the authenticator to sup is trivial (see 01-sup_gssapi.patch). Here comes the catch: As I’m not very much involved in the ruby community (in fact, this is my first piece of ruby code), I need someone to help me get things upstream (for Net::IMAP in the first place, but someone maintaining ruby-gss would be great). As for the sup patch, I think this already is the right place to post it ;-). Short installation instructions for those not so familiar with ruby: $ cd ruby-gss $ ruby extconf.rb $ make $ sudo make install # patch /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/imap.rb # patch /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/sup/imap.rb Best regards, Michael
