Subject: [PATCH 11/12] s3/smbd: allow set quota for non root user (when
built
 with --enable-selftest)

Don't put #ifdef ENABLE_SELFTEST in the tree if at all possible.

sec_initial_uid() is used unconditionally elsewhere, and is designed to
allow us to run Samba non-root in some situations (which don't have to
be selftest). 

The only other user of ENABLE_SELFTEST in the .c code is to enable the
virtual line printer.

The reason we do that is that we want our selftest binaries to be as
close to our production binaries as possible, just possibly being
developer builds.  It isn't perfect, while socket_wrapper is LD_PRELOAD
these days, we have some tweaks that ensure stuff stays in the build
tree only (not in the installed tree), but in general.

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett
