Hi Folks,
Problem with building Samba_3_2_test on HP-UX 11.11 and 11.23 (see the build farm).  Problem is we are calling
If_nametointerface(), but are not setting the '-lipv6' in the LIBS in Makefile.  I think when we do our test for IPV6 functionality, that that would be a good place to also add this library, if HP-UX...

>From the man page for if_nameinterface() on HP-UX:

if_nameindex(3N)                                           if_nameindex(3N)

 NAME
      if_nameindex(), if_nametoindex(), if_indextoname(), if_freenameindex()
      - functions that map between an interface name and index

 SYNOPSIS
      #include <net/if.h>
.
.
.
      The function prototypes and struct if_nameindex are defined in
      <net/if6.h>.  Applications are not required to include this header
      file explicitly; it is automatically included by <net/if.h>.

      Applications using these functions should link with -lipv6.

Hope this helps,
Don
