Well it was a bit unclear but there's a patch for offlineimap attached
to Guido's message:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=10;filename=support-GSSAPI-via-pykerberos.diff;att=1;bug=359213
I've tried it out and it works great! Except that if the Kerberos
layer throws an exception it wouldn't fail over to plain
authentication properly. Attached is a slightly reworked patch that I
tested it in the following situations:
1. python-kerberos uninstalled, with kerberos credentials.
Prompted for password authentication as expected.
2. python-kerberos installed, with kerberos credentials.
Keberos authentication was successful and my mail was fetched
without password prompting. Yeehaw!
3. python-kerberos installed, with no kerberos credentials.
Prompted for password authentication as expected.
I think those are all the interesting situations. So I think this is
ready to go in, with a Suggest on python-kerberos (>=
1.0+mk080218-1).
