Update of /data/cvs/samba/source
In directory samba:/tmp/cvs-serv14936

Modified Files:
      Tag: SAMBA_TNG
	Makefile.in 
Log Message:
tim, after speaking with andrew he noticed that you were calling become_root()
and unbecome_root().  client-side code CANNOT call these functions, it must
only call the *stub* versions of these.

the only circumstances under which it is ok for client-side code to call
become_root() and unbecome_root() is if you are actually calling client-side
code from inside a root process to the msrpc loop-back interface.  

this is because you cannot _access_ the msrpc loop-back interface unless you
are root (use a server name of "\\." instead of "\\someservername").
