Samba binaries require the environment variables UNIXROOT and TMPDIR to be set properly in order to run. If either of them is missing some functionality simply will not work. What is more, a missing TMDIR makes some binaries simply crash without a proper error message.

This patch sets UNIXROOT in case it is not defined to the parent directory of %ETC% (usually x:\MPTN, where x: is the bootdrive). This has the advantage to eliminate the hassle that %UNIXROOT%\etc is not necessarily the same as %ETC% (which is hardly understandable anyway for average users).

The TMPDIR variable is normally found on newer eCS systems, but missing on older OS/2 systems (and possibly early eCS systems, not checked). When this patch is applied, the value of the %TEMP% variable (which is normally defined everywhere) is also used for %TMPDIR%. If is is also missing %TMPDIR% is set to x:\OS2\SYSTEM (where x: is the drive where %ETC% points to, i.e. normally the bootdrive), where several OS/2 components store temporary files.

Providing suitable defaults for both variables should make Samba installations easier, especially for average users.

Note: This patch cannot not be applied to Samba 3.2 and 3.3 as dynconfig.c only provides macros there.

When running the EVFSGUI if I don't setup a subdirectory under the mount point (drive letter) then it assigns the Drive letter, but does not mount it and hangs there. The drive letter cannot be released and the server cannot be accessed.

Since changeset 165 was applied, I see several strange errors related to tdb code:

• locked file displayed when Samba is not even running (the entry was not cleared in locking.tdb)
• errors accessing when unexpected.tdb
• ...

Overall stability and performance does not seem to be impacted.
