I'll forward this to some Samba people,  they'll find it amusing;  especially
after the PAC debacle.  M$'s "extending" of Kerberos V in WinY2k to include a
special proprietary field really raised hackles.  So 1)they released
documentation with a click-to-agree license stating that you couldn't use the
contained information. So Samba people all had to avoid anyone who might be
providing information from that document.  Then when the bitching got loud
enough they said "Sheesh, Ok already!" and released 'unrestricted' documentation
on their website.  Only guess what!  The info provided in that document is
clearly incorrect! Ha!  With cooperation like that....
