 Heh, so did I...

 The problem seems to be that the samba configure script is not linking
 -lcrypto along with -lkrb5, which leads to missing symbols.  It turns
 out the configure script detects libcrypto.so by trying to find the
 des_set_key symbol in the library.  However, on NetBSD>=2.0, libcrypto.so
 doesn't have the old DES API symbols (des_*), so this check fails,
 and subsequently, -lcrypto isn't passed to the linker when test-linking
 against -lkrb5.  This isn't a problem if samba is built against the
 pkgsrc Heimdal since in that case, libcrypto.so *does* still have the
 old DES API symbols in the library.
 
 This does make me wonder how net/samba passes the bulk builds since
 AFAIK, the bulk build machines just use the native Heimdal, and should
 also be experiencing this problem.
 
 Please try dropping the attached file as patch-ah in the patches
 directory and seeing if that lets the configure process get farther
 along.
