+&lt;email address here? which?&gt;</p>
+<p><b>Description</b>:</p>
+<p>Provides the ability to receive syslog messages from the
+network protected via Kerberos 5 encryption and authentication. This
+module also contains the functionality found in <a href="imtcp.html">imtcp</a>,
+which can not be used if imgssapi is used.</p>
+<p><b>Configuration Directives</b>:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>InputGSSServerRun &lt;port&gt;<br>
+Starts a GSSAPI server on selected port - note that this runs
+independently from the TCP server.</li>
+<li>InputGSSServerServiceName &lt;name&gt;<br>
+The service name to use for the GSS server.</li>
+<li>$InputTCPServerRun &lt;port&gt;<br>
+Starts a TCP server on selected port</li>
+<li>$InputTCPMaxSessions &lt;number&gt;<br>
+Sets the maximum number of sessions supported</li>

+<b>Caveats/Known Bugs:</b>
+<ul>
+<li>module always binds to all interfaces</li>
+<li>only a single listener can be bound (one each for GSS and
+plain TCP)</li>
+<li>duplicates <a href="imtcp.html">imtcp</a>
+functionality and thus conflicts with it. This will change in the
+future. Unfortunately, that also means that&nbsp;your config files
+probably&nbsp;need &nbsp;to be changed in the future when that
+change happens.</li>
