+SWAT has had some rather large improvements and is now more than just a 
 direct editor for smb.conf. Its layout has been improved. SWAT can now also 
 be used for editing run-time data - maintaining user information, provisioning,
 etc. TLS is supported out of the box.
 
 Built-in KDC
 ============
-FIXME
+Samba4 ships with an integrated KDC (Kerberos Key Distribution
+Center).  Backed directly onto our main internal database, and

+Built-in LDAP Server
+====================
+Like the situation with the KDC, Samba4 ships with it's own LDAP
+server, included to provide simple, built-in LDAP services in an AD

+LDB, and it shares that in common with the rest of Samba.

 in Samba 4 yet). The other values of this option and the 'domain master' and
