Samba also (and perhaps more +importantly) needs to control the configuration environment of the +KDC. + +The interface we have defined for libkdc allow for packet injection +into the post-socket layer, with a defined krb5_context and +kdb5_kdc_configuration structure.

This allows the KDC code to be as portable as the rest of samba +(this cuts both ways), but far more importantly it ensures a +consistancy in the handling of requests, binding to sockets etc. + +To handle TCP, we will use of our socket layer in much the same way as +we deal with TCP for CIFS. + +Kerberos logging support +------------------------ + +Samba now (optionally in the main code, required for the KDC) uses the +krb5_log_facility from Heimdal.
