Samba 2.2.0alpha0 snapshot released

[DAGNICOURT Sebastien - NTR]

Hello, 
I test this version.
I build it on a HP/UX 10.20 with gcc 2.95.2. 
Now when i run smbpasswd i get "Memory Fault" with a core dump so i can't
join the domain with the samba server.

>               WHATS NEW IN Samba 2.2.0alpha0
>               ==============================
> 
> This is the first alpha release of the new 2.2.0 codebase
> for Samba. This version must not be run in production.
> 
> This code will almost certainly have some bugs and is
> intended to help the Samba Team prepare an official 2.2.0
> release.
> 
> The documentation in this alpha snapshot is not up to date,
> there are many new parameters since 2.0.7. This will be
> corrected in a later alpha release.
> 
> The upcoming 2.2.0 Samba release will include the following
> new features:
> 
> Support for native Windows NT4/2000 printing RPCs.
> This includes support for automatic printer driver download. 
> 
> Rewritten internal locking semantics for more robustness.
> This alpha supports full 64 bit locking semantics on all
> (even 32 bit) platforms. SMB locks are mapped onto POSIX
> locks (32 bit or 64 bit) as the underlying system allows.
> 
> Conversion of various internal flat data structures to use
> database records for increased performance and flexibility. 
> 
> Support for acting as a MS-DFS server 
> 
> Compile time option for enabling a VFS layer 
> 
> Support for server supported Access Control Lists (ACLs).
> This support will require a specific pluggable backend to
> be written for each filesystem ACL implementation to be
> supported. The stable 2.2.0 release should contain
> support for the following filesystems: 
> 								
>     Solaris 2.6+ 
>     HPUX
>     SGI Irix 
>     Linux Kernel 2.2 with German ACL patch 
> 
> Currently in this alpha snapshot (alpha0) this feature
> is not enabled - the VFS layer has been modified to allow
> it, but the code is still under development and should
> be in a later alpha snapshot. Other platforms will be
> supported as resources are available to test and implement
> the encessary modules. If you are interested in writing
> the support for a particular ACL filesystem, please join the
> samba-technical mailing list and coordinate your efforts.
