FYI:
running a recent firefox on a -current NetBSD system wich has [1]these
changes should make you able to use negotiate authentication out of
the box. All you need to do is to set
`network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris' to contain a (comma delimited)
list of domains negotiate auth should be allowed with.

I'm using firefox-1.5.0.1nb1 on -current (3.99.17) NetBSD/i386, and
mod_auth_kerb-5.0rc7 (with a tiny [2]patch applied) with
apache-1.3.34nb6 on NetBSD/i386 2.1_STABLE. Negotiate authentication
works fine; I've not seen the coredumps described above anymore.


Cheers, Jukka
