Samba 4 Uninstallation

I've completed also some work to fix up the uninstallation in SAMBA 4. So it should be possible to remove cleanly binaries, headers, libraries etc..

I haven't provided a repository for this, so I link to the patch: here

It comprehends:

• Makefile: Fix up variable names and remove most of the installation/uninstallation targets
• templates.mk: Add here most of the installation/uninstallation targets and handle the uninstallation completely there.
• Conclusion: The installation scripts under "source/script" are needed as before, but the uninstallation ones aren't anymore.
• Unused targets like "swat2" are removed.

Annotation: This patch (installlib.sh) is needed to fix up the library installation. It should be applied before the first one.

Feedback

• templates should only be used for things that are called repeatedly (e.g. as replacement for a single .sh file that installs a bunch of libraries)
• no longer applies cleanly

Samba 4 Registry

Over the summer 2008 I've improved and fixed up the registry backend of SAMBA 4. Here a short overview of what I did:

Registry client

GIT repository: git://repo.or.cz/Samba/mdw.git Branch: "v4-0-regClient" - GITWEB

Main issues:

• Major fixes in the RPC client (tries to be compatible with the Windows Registry client libs)
• Improvements and fixups in the patchfile library
• Some enhancements in "regshell"
• Fixup's in two torture tests related to the registry

Registry server

GIT repository: git://repo.or.cz/Samba/mdw.git Branch: "v4-0-regServer" - GITWEB

Main fixups:

• Compatibility with Windows Registry Editor (regedit) - in my case Windows 2000 - and SAMBA 4 Registry client library
• Support empty values of REG_SZ (string) type (LDB backend)
• Introduce REG_BINARY type variables (LDB backend)
• Introduce the default attribute (LDB backend)

Feedback

• Maybe left to do: torture tests
