Heimdal comes to mind as an issue.

Post 5.8 would be a good time to resolve these things.

This works fine for my use case (I'm not using AD here, just simple
serving), and actually even with 'S' malloc.conf.

Seeing as it isn't hooked up to the build, I don't see any reason
not to update, and with the addition of -as-needed it's hugely more
usable for people building themselves, so OK sthen@.

With an eye to switching net/samba over to 4.x at some point (which
should be considerably easier than building it in net/samba4 alongside
3.x in net/samba as the "main" version), it seems sensible to make a
note of any known issues with this:

- fdm needs a simple tweak in order to find tdb, i.e.

MAKE_FLAGS=     CPPFLAGS="-I${LOCALBASE}/include 
-I${LOCALBASE}/include/samba-4.0 -I."

- needs rc scripts

- obviously it will need dependencies checking and I imagine in most
cases fixing up to find headers

- anyone know of anything else?

I'm thinking that post-5.8 would probably be a good timescale for an
actual changeover.
