How to use Net::SSH2 in a krb5 authen env?

chenryn has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I like use Net::SSH2 or Net::SSH::Perl module to connect my remote hosts. But now the cluster changes to be authed by krb5 ---- that means $ssh2->auth_list return "gssapi-keyex" and "gssapi-micpassword".

I donot find any words about gssapi support in the POD of Net::SSH2 or Net::SSH::Perl. Then what can I do?

Looking at libssh2 feature list, it does not seem to support krb5 authentication. Net::OpenSSH should work as OpenSSH does support it. Configure your environment to log into the remote host using OpenSSH `ssh` client with krb5 authentication, and Net::OpenSSH will just work.	[reply] [d/l]

How about the performance of Net::OpenSSH? Sounds like wrap ssh command with Expect?	[reply]

Performance is similar to that of Net::SSH2.	[reply]

I would talk to the people that manage the remote hosts about enabling public key authentication.	[reply]
