Why static BOOL become_uid(...)?

[Johan Hedin]

I'm trying to make a patch for Samba to be able to read an AFS ticket from
a srvtab entry. This as a not that nice, but sufficient for our needs way
to use Samba as a PDC for AFS accounts. For this patch I need to switch to
the user UID in order to read the users srvtab. The become_uid is
declared static. Is is safe to remove the static?

TIA
