Thanks for the comments (putenv as well) - I'll fix the code. 

At the moment, I'm still stuck getting server side GSSAPI to work. The
first data from the client can now be parsed correctly, the server can
obtain its own credentials and the two combined are accepted by GSSAPI.
However, I haven't yet been able to unpack the clients ticket to get at
the username.

I'll also try to figure out whether it's feasible to add a Kerberos test
to the testsuite. Are there any tests for the other authentication
mechanisms? I wasn't sure where such a test would fit in best.

My holidays have finally started (last exam was on July 7), so I'll be
spending much more time on CUPS-Krb5 and trying to catch up on my
schedule (I'm about 10 days off). 

Cheers,

Jelmer
