I posted an older version of Kerberos here:
http://cygutils.fruitbat.org/testing/
(just use setup.exe and enter the above URL as an alternate download site)
However, a word of warning: it is totally and completely unsupported.
If it does not work, or you can't figure out how to get it to work, that
is Not My Problem. :-)
One other thing: AFAIK, every client that uses kerboros keys must be
"kerberized" -- e.g. compiled specifically to use them. That's why
kerberos provides its own versions of telnet etc. I do not believe that
cygwin SSH has been compiled in this manner. Nor is it likely to, as
krb5 is NOT an official cygwin package and is (again) totally
unsupported by anyone associated with the cygwin project, including me.
