Hallo

When i use the Samba Version 3.0.6-2 , must i use the patch too?
And i think you must insert "use kerberos keytab = yes" in the smb.conf.

What are the clients?  How do they get their kerberos tickets?

Such a setup is possible, and I've attached my proposed patch.  

To use the patch export kerberos keys into the local keytab for
cifs/hostname@, and (I think) hostname$@.  Then set 'kerberos use keytab
= yes' in your smb.conf.

What will not work however is clients that expect to do an NTLM login,
and have us somehow pass that to a KDC.

Another option is my patch and the Heimdal snapshots with Samba support,
which can allow Samba to use it's password DB for NTLM logins, and for
Heimdal to use the same password database for kerberos tickets.
