Bug Description

I'm trying out the GSSAPI support in openssh and trid to ssh to a host using first shortname and then the fqdn name of the host. The keytab of the host is using the fqdn.

When using the fqdn everything works as it should but when using the shortname I get a question if I would accept the hostkey for the host, i.e the key exchange fails.

Seems to be fixed in 4.3p2-7ubuntu1 (i.e feisty). Don't now if it is fixed in edgy.

It seems that it needs the "GSSAPITrustDNS yes" option for it to work.
