Samba 2.2.8 - Snap Server Support

[Marc Kaplan]

Irving,

Applying patches to your Snap Server is probably not a good idea, and
usually impossible since the box doesn't have a compiler or the smbd source
we use. If you're putting in a patched binary, that also may have unintended
effects. I just don't want you to get your box in an unsupported state
(since we do have free tech support for our customers).

Please let me know the: 
1) SnapServer model you have 
2) The OS it's running
3) Where the patch came from 
4) How you applied it

Maybe you can also explain to me the problems that you were having. Is it
using the Snap against a Samba PDC? If so, is the Samba PDC the place where
you applied the patch? 

Also, the SnapServer is either BSD or Linux based, depending on the model.

Currently the snap has a hard time reading Samba's domain users / groups
correctly.  The patch (I did not write the code) simply fixes this
problem.  It works fine on W2k servers, but I think it runs on a windows
appliance operating system.  Not sure though.

But does samba not work with these already?
