Oof, that's ancient.

Looks like perhaps not.

CentOS 5.5.  www.centos.org

And from that distro with `ldconfig -v |grep gs`:

        libgssapi_krb5.so.2 -> libgssapi_krb5.so.2.2

And from `ldd /usr/bin/ssh`:

        libkrb5support.so.0 => /usr/lib/libkrb5support.so.0 (0xb799d000)
        libgssapi_krb5.so.2 => /usr/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so.2 (0xb7ced000)

Looks like stock should work for you.

I have a system with that stuff installed.  I tend not to mess with
kerberos, so I haven't needed to configure any of it--it's all
stock/default configs.

What do you need -exactly-?  If you just need a vanilla user account, I can
supply one on my CentOS 5.5 server.  Contact me offlist if that's the case.

Bests,
