I just switched to openSUSE 11.1 from Ubuntu 8.04. Using Ubuntu, I could access my work computer via Nautilus using my Kerberos credentials and the “Connect to Server” with SSH option. I cannot do that with openSUSE 11.1; when I try it I get “Access was denied.” My office uses krb5 credentials, and I’m not sure that would work with Ubuntu 8.04 and not with openSUSE 11.1. Thanks for the help.
I needed to add the line:
GSSAPIAuthentication yes
to my .ssh/config file, which allows Kerberos authentication. Other configuration options can be found by doing a “man ssh_config”.
