I am running samba 3.0.7 on AIX 5.2 and can not get the interfaces option 
to limit which address samba services are on.

The following cause samba to generate error messages of "no interface 
found"

interfaces = 142.104.5.142

The following cause samba to bind to all interfaces

interfaces = winshare.uvic.ca
interfaces = 142.104.5.142/24
interfaces = 142.104.5.142/255.255.255.0
interfaces = en0 142.104.5.142/24
interfaces = en0 142.104.5.142/255.255.255.0


This looks like a bug, but I'm not sure I am doing it correctly.

This host has the following interface distributions

en0 - 58 IP addresses
en1 -  3 IP addresses

any help would be apprciated.
