[PATCH] for "testparm should check for invalid vfs objects"

Hello Amit,

Testparm should have the snum for the section it is checking.
do_per_share_checks(int s), 's' is the one you need.

Within the loop you need a logic like vfs_init_custom(), you need the
logic that converts the string 'vfs_object' into module_path and
module_name and then the following check:

        entry = vfs_find_backend_entry(module_name);
        if (!entry) {
                NTSTATUS status;

                status = smb_load_module("vfs", module_path);
                if (!NT_STATUS_IS_OK(status)) {
                        DEBUG(0, ("error probing vfs module '%s': %s\n",
                                  module_path, nt_errstr(status)));
                        goto fail;
                }

                entry = vfs_find_backend_entry(module_name);
                if (!entry) {
                        DEBUG(0,("Can't find a vfs module
[%s]\n",vfs_object));
                        goto fail;
                }
        }

It could get a list, but only with internal modules, at buildtime.

If a packager moved some modules to separate rpm/deb packages and those
are not installed, the list would still be wrong.

I hope that helps...
