Yeah, I'm a bit concerned about IPA. It sounds like a great idea to
integrate and harden those services, but I've done Kerberos and LDAP
migrations. With Samba 4 out and working, I'm not sure there's a big
market for it. And I definitely expect Samba 4 to work with SL 7. (I'm
writing rebundling SRPM's for Samba 4.0.3 on SL 6 right now.....)
