Set gid problem hpux10.20 2.0.7-2 binary package

[Steve Cirivello]

Thank you kindly Giulio for the rapid response, and, a solution to the
problem.

The patch you mentioned in option 3 is NOT in the latest (2.0.7)  source
code.  Applying this patch to util_sec.c solves my "Failed to set gid
privileges" problem (encountered when attempting to browse.)

It appears that util_sec.c was re-written for Samba 2.0.6; if the problem
was introduced there, it seems to me that all versions 2.0.6 and later will
encounter this problem on HP-UX unless the patch is applied to the source
code (and the binary package is updated.)

Thanks again for your assistance.
