??? Oh, boy. I interviewed there for a QA role on the IPA project.
(Good role, I think I just didn't have the deep Kerberos chops they
were looking for.)

I've grabbed the Fedora 18 SRPM and am trying to backport it. It has
these missing dependencies in SL 6:

        iniparser
        libldb # breaks dependences for sssd on old libldb version
        libtalloc
        libtdb
        libtevent
        systemd # the new init script scheme in recent Fedora releases

For a number of those dependencies, Samba 4.0.2 won't even compile on
SL 6 without updates.
