Comment 3 for bug 1889548

Due to that hint with SciLinux I have fetched
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/7.8/SRPMS/vendor/openssh-7.4p1-21.el7.src.rpm

I can't see it but that is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=991186
I can see follow on issues referring to it https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1161073 thou.

# use default_ccache_name from /etc/krb5.conf (#991186)
Patch902: openssh-6.3p1-krb5-use-default_ccache_name.patch

The patch is not/no-more in https://git.centos.org/rpms/openssh/blob/c8/f/SOURCES
But in https://git.centos.org/rpms/openssh/blob/c7/f/SOURCES/openssh-6.3p1-krb5-use-default_ccache_name.patch

That is suspicious, there must be a reason it is gone right?
Maybe it was hard to maintain or somewhat bad and they only could drop it on the major version change.

In the v8 spec I find:

# Improve ccache handling in openssh (#991186, #1199363, #1566494)
# https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2775
Patch804: openssh-7.7p1-gssapi-new-unique.patch
# Respect k5login_directory option in krk5.conf (#1328243)
Patch805: openssh-7.2p2-k5login_directory.patch

FYI navigate from here https://git.centos.org/rpms/openssh/blob/c8/f/SPECS/openssh.spec

I'm not sure on this, but maybe carrying more of the RH sauce back to upstream might help.
Definitely activity on the new or old upstream bug will be needed.

Keep us in the loop here what happens.
