severity 200342 normal thanks (discussed at DebConf IRL today, please correct me if I got any of the details wrong)
This symbol is indeed not used for critical functionality in Samba. The only place where it is used is in the "net lookup kdc" code, which will look up a KDC for a user-specified realm. This functionality is not specific to Samba and it seems better off provided by the Kerberos implementations where all Kerberos users can benefit from it. That would also avoid the need for Samba to use this private Kerberos symbol. Sam has contacted upstream MIT Kerberos about providing this functionality. I'm downgrading this bug to normal since I don't think "net lookup kdc" is a key Samba feature in any way. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
