svn commit: samba r9946 - branches/SAMBA_3_0/source/smbd trunk/source/smbd

[Wong Onn Chee]

Can we restrict changing of ownership to a 3rd party to just the admin 
user, instead of anyone with SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege?
The current function in 3.0.20 which allows changing of ownership to 
yourself only should be preserved.

Is this correct ? Does that privillage have the same meaning in Windows ?
Even if it does, I'm not sure we should allow this.

I'm very dubious and would welcome other comments.
