[Slackbuilds-users] krb5 removed from SBo, but still needed by Samba components

I've searched around on this mailing list and through the changelogs 
about this issue but have drawn a blank so far. I am guessing (but could 
be wrong) that krb5 has been removed from SBo because Samba uses now its 
internal Kerberos code instead of the external MIT Kerberos. However, 
the dhcp-dyndns.sh script provided by Samba at the link below, which 
acts as glue between dhcpd, Samba and Bind in Active Directory setups, 
still uses the "klist" and "kinit" commands, which are provided by the 
krb5 package. Anyone here knows if:

1. Any other package can provide "klist" or "kinit" for the above script

2. Or the Kerberos package has been merged into a different one at SBo

3. Or the above is all incorrect and there is something else going on 
which could help

The Samba script is here:

Any info on the above much appreciated
