Please don't add to exposing internal APIs. Libpassdb is just an API
that RedHat chose to utilize in FreeIPA, and the more internals of
Samba we expose the more conflicts like this will come up.

We need to enter a serious discussion to limit this to the absolute
necessary and agree on a proper API. I don't want to just version and
expose every implementation aspect of Samba internals.

So -- what does FreeIPA really need, and can we expose that with
something serious, not just a random collection of dropped-in headers
and files?

Or -- can we in the future just decouple this completely? Why does a
completely separate non-associated project need to touch purely
internal, private Samba APIs at all?

Thanks,

Volker
