Well, like I said, I won't object to someone doing the right thing for
2.5. I've said my bit.

3.0 should definately have this fixed before release though.
I have a humble suggestion for compromise to get STABLE2 out now rather than later:

Include the Samba 2.2.7 headers, as these will work with the majority of OS versions that are up to date on their errata. Earlier versions have security bugs, and so will not be in use on any system that is well-maintained. 2.2.8 doesn't exist yet. I can't say whether this works with 2.2.7a, but I would hope it would. If folks are running CVS checkouts of devel versions of Samba, they ought to know how to patch. If necessary due to frequent problem reports, I'll be happy to modify the FAQ to indicate this decision and its reasons.
