Exactly.

In Samba we know that we're joined to an AD domain
and then we want to force disabling the transited check
for gss_accept_sec_context().

For Samba as AD DC we want also want to disable this for
krb5_rd_req_decoded in the KDC too.

A krb5.conf option would also be good in order to support
non-samba services in AD-Domains. But the c library should also
support changing it at runtime.
