Hi

Samba 3.0 Alpha21 tries to emulate the timegm() call. When it does that, it
sets the TZ="" before it invokes the mktime() call. However, on HP-UX,
setting TZ="" makes the timezone to be EST but what we want is GMT for
time_t computation. This results in Samba failing to a join a domain.

Code Change:

in lib/replace.c

443a444,446
> #ifdef HPUX
>       putenv("TZ=GMT");
> #else
444a448
> #endif
