(I really don't have time to actively participate on this list right
now, but I believe that if I bring it up on b.g.o, I'll be directed
here, so...)

So I'm playing with net-fs/samba-4.0.3, AD and kerberos, and tried to
enable kerberos system-wide on my server.

No joy, as net-fs/nfs-utils has an explicit dependency on
app-crypt/mit-krb5 (bug 231936) and net-fs/samba-4.0.3 depends on
app-crypt/heimdal (for reasons noted in bug 195703, comment 25).

Questions:

1) If upstream isn't going to support mit-krb5, then use of samba-4.0.3
and kerberos demands that things with explicit dependencies on mit-krb5
either be fixed or not used at all.

I'm the first activity on bug 231936 in two years...could someone please
look into that one?

2) Is it possible to slot mit-krb5 and heimdal instead of pulling them
through a virtual? My suspicion is "no", but I don't know enough about
kerberos to say whether or not it would work, even as a hack.

I'm sure explicit dependencies on mit-krb5 and heimdal will continue to
crop up, so (and forgive the nausea this might cause) it might help to
slot mit and heimdal, and have virtual/krb5 depend on the presence of at
least one.
