Samba 3.0.32 - internal change notify "legacy" mechanism

[Dina Fine]

Hi
I had a bug in the watch of vfs_notify_hash.c - The watch applied on the
directory relative path instead of the full path.
So when samba changed working directory, the watch failed.
The fix is attached.

Thanks
Dina

Hi

Well, I applied all (almost :)) your comments.
We use Clear Case so I couldn't easily create a git patch, sorry for
that.

Thanks
Dina

Thanks!

Some comments:

You don't need to patch the file "configure", this is auto-generated
from "configure.in" by ./autogen.sh

Same applies to config.h.in.

vfs_notify_hash.c does not carry a valid personal copyright.

Why is timed_event_handler not static?

The indentation in that file is a bit erratic, can you reformat that so
that it compiles with the stuff in README.Coding? Not 100% required, but
it would be great.

Can you make the timeout parameter a module-specific one?
For examples, look for example at the recycle module and its use of
lp_parm_int.

Can you split adding the module as such and the changes to smbd/ into
two patches? You might also want to use "git format-patch" to send the
patches. This way you would get proper credit in "git blame". Bonus if
you send patches that apply cleanly to 3.2, 3.3 and master :-)

Thanks,

Volker
