fix for this big

should work but i could not test since i could not build samba with this patch.

i tried to add USER_UTIL deps to the places where they should be. if i add these deps to smbconf library then build system detects loop in deps.

so may be samba developers will fixed this issue themselfs?

Dear Andy.

Have you tested samba-4.7.1

I tried connecting and was lucky,

smb.conf
  [myshare-home-fred]
    path = %H/

Hope you are not talking about widelinks.
