[Samba] Samba 3.0.4 and kerberos 1.3.x

[Andrey]

Hi All, 

I've been using samba 2.2.8a running on RedHat 9 as a PDC for almost a year by 
now. Everything works great 
even though it required some time to configure everything properly. 

Our company decided to move to Active Directory running on Win2003 server.... 
I want to leave Samba as our file server, so I plan to use Samba 3.0.4 as a 
domain member server. 

I got one problem, though :-( 
It is said in the John Terpstra's book, that it is required to use kerberos 1.3.
x to get Samba talking
to Active Directory properly.
RedHat 9 comes with kerberos version 1.2.7 and there's no way to remove/
reinstall/upgrade it via RPM 
without breaking dependencies. Actually, if you use -nodeps switch to install, 
let's say, kerberos 1.3.1, it 
will crash you system. 

The only way I see is to install kerberos from sources (tarballs). However, I 
don't know what will happen
to the system, if I install a tarball over existing rpm installation. As far as 
I know, that's highly not recommended. 

Is there anybody who had managed to install Kerveros 1.3.x on Redhat 8/9 and 
proved it worked properly? 
I would really appreciate if you give me some clue how to do that. 

Thanks a lot. 

Andrey.
