Subject: gss_krb5: document that we ignore sequence number
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5d6baef9ab52d0d02b3106d8ccd1b05ec628e027;p=linux-beck.git

gss_krb5: document that we ignore sequence number

A couple times recently somebody has noticed that we're ignoring a
sequence number here and wondered whether there's a bug.

In fact, there's not.  Thanks to Andy Adamson for pointing out a useful
explanation in rfc 2203.  Add comments citing that rfc, and remove
"seqnum" to prevent static checkers complaining about unused variables.
