I don't have Samba running on one of these beasts, but I do have knowledge
of the platform.

The system seems to be derived from Sco Unix 1.3, and is no longer
sold/supported much by ICL/Fujitsu (the hardware is also most likely NOT
y2k). I seriously doubt that Samba detects this system as such (as most
other packages I've compiled on it in the past certainly do not). You might
want to try forcing it into a compatible set of definitions in the code
(note: this does not seem as though it will be real a simple thing to do).

If I get the time, I might put Samba on the machine and have a go at
compiling it. Are you using DRS/NX for Intel (C compiler you can purchase
for that platform) or are you using gcc?? Compiling gcc took lots of effort
(many attempts to tell the gcc code what platform it was running on) but it
eventually compiled using the DRS/NX compiler. I've found gcc to work
better in almost all cases on that specific platform.
