[squid-users] Squid, Kerberos and FireFox (Was: Re: leaking memory in squid 3.4.8 and 3.4.7.)

Good to see it works now. As far as I recall the MIT message is clearer in 
this case.

Thank you, Markus! With "-s GSS_C_NO_NAME" it works, at least with the
negotiate_kerberos_auth_test client. I will try later with real hosts
and browsers, though.

I should have guessed this before. The server's `hostname` is
"big.sibptus.transneft.ru", while "proxy.sibptus.transneft.ru" is an A
record pointing to another IP alias of the same server.

If only the Kerberos error message was more informative, something
like "principal not found in the keytab" instead of "mech unknown", I
would have guessed this long ago and would have spared myself a week
of tribulation.
