[Samba] AIX and DFS

[Peacock, Joshua]

I am running 32bit and I would take that version to do some testing
with.

Will I need to file a bug report for this?

Thanks

Just following this thread I did some digging and I think readlink is 
working as written. :-)

I think we either need to add AIX to the ifdef or properly handle the 
ERANGE. The former looks easier. ;-)

At any rate, Joshua, are you using the 32- or 64-bit version of 3.3.7? I

have a 32-bit patched smbd replacement you can test with the original 
patch Volker suggested. I can make a 64-bit if you need that.
Interested?

Cheers,
Bill
