There is a standards-track extension to the SSHv2 protocol which adds 
GSSAPI-based user authentication, including credential delegation for those 
mechanisms which support it (such as GSS-KRB5).  It has been implemented in 
a variety of SSH clients and servers; there are patches available for 
OpenSSH 3.x, and I believe the new method will be included in the upcoming 
OpenSSH 3.7 release.
