This turned out to be a nop by the way.  Nothing to do
right now.

most of the essential functions will be ok with RA==1 and no
auth account set.  The reason is that we cache the entire user
info3 structure.  This is why it got added in the first place since 
HP print appliance never caches an auth user at all.  So yes, there is 
still some cleanup but in general things should be ok as long as the user 
logons on to the samba box first.   





cheers, jerry
