From 5d6baef9ab52d0d02b3106d8ccd1b05ec628e027 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "J. Bruce Fields" Date: Wed, 9 Oct 2013 15:59:29 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] 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. Reported-by: Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: J.
