pidgin + openfire + kerberos on RHEL 5

For those who are struggling to get pidgin on RHEL 5 to work with kerberos auth to openfire IM server...

After some research I discovered that you have to install cyrus-sasl-gssapi and have a valid kerberos ticket before it will work. Pidgin will not require that package on install or upgrade (at this time), so you must install it and restart pidgin to load the library.
