OT: Setting up a Linux box with OpenSSH and Kerberos

Hi all, hoping someone can help.

I need a test platform for Anzio to connect via SSH to an OpenSSH daemon 
running on a Linux box, with everything authenticated by means of a 
Kerberos box, to achieve Single Sign-On (SSO). What I have:

1) A Windows 2008 Server, acting as an AD and a Kerberos server.

2) A Windows 2000 client, with PuTTY (with GSSAPI) and Anzio.

3) A Linux server (Suse 9.2 Professional).

I can get machines 2 and 3 to authenticate to machine 1. But I can't get 
sshd to use GSSAPI or Kerberos. My sshd was OpenSSH 3.9, which was old, so 
I tried downloading the latest source. I could not get it to compile, due 
to missing some gssapi header files. I have installed Kerberos. Do I need 
to install GSSAPI?

Did I not get all of Kerberos installed?

Would I be better off setting up a newer Linux distro? Which?

Does someone have a setup in place I could connect to?

Thanks for any info.
