Description Carmi Weinzweig 2026-07-05 17:37:59 UTC 
Given that FreeBSD 15.1 and forward now come with MIT Kerberos 5 in base, it would be ideal if the options for GSSAPI_MIT would use the bundled Kerberos, not the port in Security.

It would also be nice if there were either a pre-built flavor built with MIT Kerberos.

Why? It is split in purpose so default setup continues to use base. Consider that MIt KRB5 1.24 might provide new features and you want to use the one from ports how to implement that in the ports framework?
