	Sure: update the file on the AIX machine using
	smbclient or smbsh.  This uses the smb protocol,
	and triggers the oplock-break mechanism which
	forces the cleints to get a fresh copy.

	You could put something like this in
	a Makefile:

install: 
	smbclient //scot/davecb -Udavecb%passwd -c \
		"prompt; put ${EXECUTABLE}" 

	If you don't like putting passwords in files,
	you can leave off -U and be prompted for it.
