Inconsistant problem with Alpha5 and group policy

[Manu]

Hi Wes,

I also experiment "file not found" errors when creating/editing GPOs.
I found a few glitches as well with NT ACLs.

I've been running Samba4 for a few weeks on a new test server, the good
point is that the core application seems very reliable. It's a good file
server for every day usage.

Manu.
