I strongly agree here as well - I did not know Samba has to maintain its own secrets.tdb. It would be nice if samba could really maintain 
system Kerberos database (I see it as another big benefit) so that other services (sshd, http, nfs) can make use of it.
Hopefully this idea will not be forgotten (as well as the idea of gss-proxy).
