Quoting you from the 'heimdal: lib/krb5: do not fail set_config_files due to 
parse error' thread:

    Once patches are in upstream git master (no need to wait for a release)
    they can be back-ported.  This helps for when I get back to updating
    our copy so we don't regress, so the effort is much appriciated.

The upstream hdb_auth_status callback takes 3 arguments, the one in the Samba 
code takes 7 arguments!

You're obviously already in the Kerberos business and maintain a fork of 
Heimdal! This seems to go in without any Heimdal upstream discussion if this 
feature for testing is worth changing the HDB API or if there are better ways.


I think we will just not have auth logging support with MIT Kerberos or as an 
untested feature.


Best regards,


	Andreas
