I decided to set up Samba on a version of RHEL 8 and used almalinux. I
had more problem getting the GUI login to work than getting Samba and
winbind to work. There is only one problem, red-hat has removed pam-
krb5, so no kerberos unless I can find a repo somewhere. I ask, what
distro removes such a vital package without providing a replacement
(and yes, I know it is now built into sssd, which is not much help if
you are not using sssd).
