It is upn_username, not usename. Typo in the commit message.

"Make SSPI work more like GSSAPI" reads like it changed authentication 
behavior in some fundamental way, and as if SSPI did not work like 
GSSAPI without it. The difference in behavior of include_realm between 
GSSAPI and SSPI is not caused by SSPI, but is an implementation detail 
on our end.

I suggest writing "use the Kerberos realm name for authentication 
instead of the NetBIOS name" either in place of the existing description 
or together with it.

Thanks,
