Hello Albert,

yes you are absolutely correct the Patch you mentioned introduced these
systemcalls the first time for HP-UX11.0. In HP-UX 11.i (11.11) it is
included in the core-filesets. 
It seems not to be available to HP-UX 10.20 systems as it does not support
kernel-threads. 

IMHO patches are often needed to enhance the system's functionality and this
patch is approx 2 years old while HP-UX11.0 is now approx older than 4
years. So applying an actual libc  and this kernel patch would be a good
idea. (Although I can understand a defensive patch strategy)

Jeremy, perhaps a small note in the samba-docs (system requirements) would
be helpful?

Thanks, hope this helps.
Rainer
