The difficulty there is that we then need to race with the KDC, or
write out a private krb5.conf with our join partner as the KDC (as the
source3 code does, I think). 

The challenge is that the KDC we select via the krb5.conf we use for
the join might not have the new machine account yet.  (And I don't want
to fall back to NTLMSSP for new code if I can at all avoid it). 

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett
