A proposal for an MIT KDC for Samba4

[Ondrej Valousek]

Question:

Does it mean that Samba4 includes its own KDC (based on Heimdal) as well 
as an LDAP server?
I thought (well, hoped) that Samba4 will make it possible to integrate 
existing pre-installed MIT KDC and OpenLdap server creating a complete 
identity management system for both Windows and Unix systems.

If Samba wants to ship everything on its own, it would make it too 
bloated I think...

Thanks,
Ondrej
