A patch would be very welcome > :-) 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). -- Eric Dorland <eric@kuroneko.ca> ICQ: #61138586, Jabber: hooty@jabber.com
