I should be making some samba4 rpms soon but mine will not start with fedora. RedHat has this insane idea that they are going to fix MIT kerberos 5 after more than a decade of it being broken. So they've stripped out the embedded heimdal kdc. The problem is it doesn't work properly without heimdal. And the latest version of heimdal is compatible with the kdc in windows server 2012.
Ps don't worry I'm not going to replace the mit libraries or client that would be crazy instead I'm going to install them heimdal versions in different locations.

Not a problem. The "samba4" package in SL 6, and the upstream vendor's
package, is *nasty*. It should have been called something like
"openchange-samba4" because it's a stripped Samba 4 release, designed
to be used as a plugin for OpenChange softwae and under no
circumstances to operate as a an actual Samba server.

I've taken a potshot at backporting the Fedora 18 release of Samba to
SL 6, and it's.... an adventure in dependencies. Just to start with,
the "tdb" release has to be at least version 1.2.10 for Samba 4, and
as soon as you starting basic system libraries, you're in potential
dependency hell.
