Upgrading from Samba 4 alpha12 to beta 8 problems

[Mark Walker]

Hi Michael,

No reason I didnt try with RC1 apart from the fact I couldnt seemingly get
it in tarball form. Maybe I wasnt looking hard enough.

Ah well at least I can rest easy with the GUID errors. Theres nothing
stopping me trying with RC1 as I have built the source to install into a
version specific prefix so I can roll back without issue and not being
chaos to the office!

Cheers,
Mark Walker
