Hi Uri,

the position you moved the lp_load_global() seems to be correct, however 
load_interfaces() must be called after we loaded the smb.conf! It uses values 
from smb.conf.

I think it is sufficient. We should rely on SMB_CONF_PATH unless we need to 
use a different configuration for the test.

The config should be loaded after popt processing. There are some init 
functions which need to be called after we load the smb.conf like 
load_interfaces() or init_names().
