Compiling samba 2.2.8 on HP-UX 11.00 - conflicting definition of snprintf

[Marc Jacobsen]

Sorry, this is not help for your compile, but you may be interested to 
know that you can get Samba 2.2.8 compiled and packaged for HP-UX 11 and 
11i here:  http://master.samba.org/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/hp/samba-2.2.8/

Hopefully that takes care of the issue for you.

Regards,
Marc Jacobsen
