From what I can see, GSSAPI has broad acceptance and will soon have broad use.
I've heard that Digital, HP, and IBM have all mandated that all security code (except keymgmt and other things that are out of scope) must go through the GSSAPI: no writing your own stuff. I heard, less authoritatively, that Microsoft has the same rules, except they use a FunnyLookingVariant(far) of an earlier GSSAPI draft. /r$
