Log Message:
this commit is NOT as large as it looks. sed is a wonderful thing.
1) got fed up of calling init_policy_hnd(MAX_HANDLES), so tried to put
policy handles behind bars. i failed, so went for an interim fix:
all policy handle functions now take the return result from
get_global_policy_hnd() as the first argument.
2) this is horrible. i can't believe microsoft would do this. they
cache the NETLOGON credentials. you can tear down the SMB connection
and reopen it and still validate a user.
this is horrible for two reasons. a) it opens up the possibility of DOS
attacks against the NETLOGON service b) old versions of samba (2.0.x)
now have a problem, as they store the credential chain, which will
disappear if the SMB connection is torn down.
