   Whoa. Most likely I wasn't being clear enough in what I wrote. The
default HEAD compiles cleanly for me, it is with the --with-tdbsam
option to ./configure that breaks HEAD.

   But regardless, .... <runs quickly to double-check>

   Darn it, it didn't compile for me. (Well, technically it compiled,
but couldn't link smbd). I used the following
$ ./configure --with-tdbsam
$ make

   The normal configure works fine.

   Details - mostly RH70-based (ie with patches), Linux 2.2.19,
Samba-HEAD as of Friday, 4-May-2001 11:14 AEST or 1:15 same date UTC.

   ./configure ran successfully. make failed with message

[epl at host source]$ make

<snipped a lot>

Linking bin/smbd
passdb/pdb_tdb.o: In function `init_sam_from_buffer':
passdb/pdb_tdb.o(.text+0x15): undefined reference to `pdb_set_mem_ownership'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [bin/smbd] Error 1
===

   From what I can tell, the file source/passdb/pdb_tdb.c:73 is calling
the undefined function pdb_set_mem_ownership(). Did a recursive grep
through the source, only mention of the function in passdb.c.

Thanks
