samba - Jan 2022 - Samba on CentOS 8 with sssd and AD users/groups and local users/groups

I've tried, but came to the conclusion that Debian is evil... and I 
won't go to the dark side ;-)

Seriously, I prefer the way Redhat and derivatives (Fedora, Centos, etc) 
are organized.?? Really, I could never get used to 'apt-whatever'.?? I 
also really like 'Kickstart' for auto-documenting setups.

Hardware manufacturers will also offload support if you're not using an 
enterprise distro like RHEL or SUse.?? I've had too man bad experiences 
with this.

I decided to set up Samba on a version of RHEL 8 and used almalinux. I
had more problem getting the GUI login to work than getting Samba and
winbind to work. There is only one problem, red-hat has removed pam-
krb5, so no kerberos unless I can find a repo somewhere. I ask, what
distro removes such a vital package without providing a replacement
(and yes, I know it is now built into sssd, which is not much help if
you are not using sssd).
