I just removed any trapdoor checking in the configure script, and set
the:

samba_cv_HAVE_TRAPDOOR_UID=no

within the script, and Samba runs okay now. The trapdoor.c file, when
run alone by root, gives stderr 0, yet for some reason, the configure
script thinks otherwise. I didn't get out the microscope, and I don't
know too much about such things, anyway.
