[Gt-eos] Possible security concern with gsissh

[Mischa Salle]

Hi Dave, Jim,

the man-page for an old gsissh_config (from gsi-openssh-clients-5.3p1-11.el6)
says that the default is 'no'. In any case, Dave, you could try to set
it manually to verify that it is the cause?

 GSSAPITrustDns
	 Set to “yes to indicate that the DNS is trusted to securely
	 canonicalize” the name of the host being connected to. If “no,
	 the hostname entered on the” command line will be passed
	 untouched to the GSSAPI library.  The default is “no”.  This
	 option only applies to protocol version 2 connections using GSS-
	 API.
