Hi Simo,

Interesting! Couple of points / questions though:

1. Any thought's why RedHat'ish samba is not shipped with this?
2. Is there anything similar for ldap (i.e. something like 
winbind_ldap_locator)? I am asking as we might reuse this one for 
automounter, too.
3. Ultimately, it will not help me with configuring the krb5.conf 
itself. I know Centrify does this (quite nicely), but it is a commercial 
product so I hoped Samba have something similar, too.

Many thanks,
Ondrej
