>Description:
When you build and install databases/openldap-server, with the "kerberos" 
package option, the resulting system doesn't actually use Kerberos. The 
Kerberos option merely switches on the "sasl" option, which in turn creates a 
dependency on security/cyrus-sasl and adds the correct configure flag. None of 
these bits supply Kerberos authentication. cyrus-sasl is only a framework, and 
doesn't supply an authentication mechanism. 
>How-To-Repeat:
Build and install openldap and then wonder why you aren't offered 
GSSAPI/Kerberos authentication.
>Fix:
Add security/cy2-gssapi as a runtime dependency for the openldap packages if 
the kerberos option is set. I know that this isn't a normal runtime dependency 
in that the program will run without cy2-gssapi, but if the sysadmin builds 
with the kerberos option set, then that have made a clear statement that they 
expect the resulting package to use Kerberos.

If the sysadmin doesn't want to install cy2-gssapi when they install 
openldap-server, then they should build with the sasl option and not the 
kerberos option.
