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.

This isn't all that important, since the description gets replaced the first time you set the port properties, but it was worth fixing anyway (a variable isn't being initialized before being used, which is potentially dangerous).

Alex Taylor is pretty sure this was just left over from CUPS.PDR; at any rate, it caused the string "%!PS-Adobe-3.0" to appear at the top of all printouts, even photographs.
