I have done such a patch for Kerberos 4 and submitted it to samba-bugs.
You'll find it at

ftp://ftp.pdc.kth.se/pub/krb/contrib/

Note that the messing with the KRB5 flags in the Makefile is a misstake.
Also note that applying sych a patch to samba will transmitt your
passwords in clear text, destroing the Kerberos security.
