Yeah, I've done lots of work on keeping the tests working.
I didn't know Kai had a patch for this, I'll ping him to
get a copy.

I don't care about these really, although I think we need
to keep a separate smbtorture3, as it's diverged significanly
from smbtorture4 - they really do different and complementary
things.

Great ! I'd love to have just one ntlm_auth for Samba4,
I don't care which one so long as the scripts written
around the existing one still work.
Thanks for your help on the merge.
Jeremy.
