samba - Aug 2004 - Suse (SLES8) Kerberos

I've got the book Samba-3 By Example and I'm trying to get my Samba to 
work with our Active Directory Server. But for that I need Samba 3, 
which was no problem since I found rpms at 
http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/sles8-i386/ (You can also find rpms for 
other distros there).
But the book also tells me that I need either Heimdal 0.6 (plus specific 
patches) or MIT Kerberos 1.3.1 or later.
Of course Suse SLES8 doesnt come with any of these, it comes with 
Heimdal 0.4. The easiest thing would probably be to use Heimdal since 
the system comes with Heimdal, but does anyone know where I can find 
rpm-packages with heimdal 0.6 for SLES8?
Also, what does specific patches mean? Isn't Heimdal 0.6 enough?

Regards,
Mattias

there is no need to install a new heimdal if you use the SerNet RPMs because
they are linked statically against the needed kerberos libs. On ftp.sernet.de
you find all samba3 RPMs for all recent SUSE versions with working kerberos and
now also RPMs for RHEL3 with sane kerberos support to even join a Windows 2003
Active Direcory.
