[Samba] How does samba work with kerberos?

[Alex Orlov]

Hi Andrew,
 
Thank you very much for your help. I will do as you say. However, could you explain
in two-three sentences how samba works with kerberos KDC. I just want to understand
the way they communicate. I am not samba or kerberos expert but I like to know
what is happening in my server.
