SV: SIGBUS Panic in smbd

[Michael Stockman]

Hello,

Yes! That is the way to go! Then we have our own struct that we can do
anything we like with.

It appears as passdb/check_pass.c will need to be corrected too (in
the 2.0 branch), the code was moved from there to _Get_Pwnam in the
head branch (that also needs fixing).
