[Samba] Make Test on Samba 3.2.0

[Michael Adam]

Oh, thanks for reporting.
Metze has also pointed this one out to me.

As you noted, it will work without complaints when you 
do "make install" before "make test". 

It is a bug and I am going to fix it.

The problem is that these new testparm_s3 tests call the testparm
binary, which uses the compiled in defaults for lock dir and so
on to set up locking and logging and so on. I did not notice
these problems in time since I only ran make test from a build
dir where I had previously done make install.

If you care, you might open a bugzilla entry (assigned to
obnox at samba.org) or/and of course provide a patch. 

The plan would be to extend testparm so that one can completely
bypass the lockdir etc from compiled in defaults.
Or rewrite the testparm_s3 tests in C to not call testparm...

I need to think about that....

Cheers - Michael
