Samba 2.0.6 with automount on Solaris

Hi, all
Until recently, we were running Samba 1.9.18p7 in a Solaris 2.6
environment. We configured our environment with configure --with-nisplus
--with-automount. With that configuration, we were able to allow
multiple machines within our workgroup to act as windows 95 logon
servers. Because everthing was automounted. No matter which machine a
person gained access to, it provided them with the login script mounting
their home directory and applications directories on various servers.
All of this worked great until... Recently we upgraded to Solaris 2.7,
at the same time ( I know bad move), we attempted to upgrade to samba
2.0.6. During compile we got errors abount fnctl stuff. After checking
the samba archives we went back an made sure that the software was built
on a local drive rather than a mounted drive. This seemed to fix the
complile problems but it resulted in a horribly broken environment.No
one could get in to authenticate. The log.smb printed the following
report.I know I've done something incredibly stupid. Can anybody tell me
what.

Thanks

john
