[Samba] Host with multiple names

[Eric Roseme]

  I have been able to do this by using ADSIEdit to add the alias service 
principal to the server computer object in the AD.  In my case, I was 
using the same IP for hostname and alias.

I could not get Samba to create a keytab entry for the alias SP, though. 
  I could add a keytab SP with "net ads keytab create", but the client 
could not authenticate using the SP.

For non-keytab authentication the alias worked.
