I had a RH6 samba server bridging the oracle/linux env to AD.  Worked until last year when some M$ update broke the Kerberos trust and the RH box couldn't get AD updates.

I agree build something modern in parallel, satisfy yourself it works and then sell the client

No, it's 11 Fedora releases old, which are roughly twice a year.  Fedora
30 was released 2019-04-30.  Updates for it ended on 2020-05-26, so it's
not connected to a network or exposed to any untrustworthy people.

At $LASTJOB, I found that one customer's primary recursive DNS server
had been up without even a reboot from IIRC 2005... this was 2018 or
2019.  Sure, it's neat that it stayed up for 13-14 years without an
issue, but it WAS connected to the Internet, and was sorely outdated.
