[Samba] Samba 3.0.21a and AIX 5.3 - Cannot see server on network

[Dan Engelsen]

I compiled the 3.0.21a samba software with the
following configure options:

configure --prefix=/opt/samba --exec-prefix=/opt/samba
--with-krb=/usr/krb5 --with-smbwrapper --with-syslog
--with-mandir=/usr/man --with-winbind

Everything compiled fine; however, I am unable to see
the server on the microsoft network.

My smb.conf file looks like the this:

[global]
        workgroup = CAREMARKRX
        netbios name = AZSHSAMBAD01
        server string = Micro Strategy Dev Samba
Server 3.0.21a
        interfaces = 127.0.0.1, r10dev01/255.255.255.0
        security = DOMAIN
        log file = /opt/samba/logs/log.%m
        preferred master = No
        local master = No
        domain master = No
        dns proxy = No
        wins server = WINS1, WINS2
        ldap ssl = no
        passdb expand explicit = No
        admin users = is81301, ds066

[/dano]
        path = /tmp
        guest ok = Yes
  

When I do a netstat -a, I do not see ports 137 or 139
listed:

The processes are up and running:

[root at r10dev01]/etc # ps -ef|grep samba
root 634946      1   0 10:52:30      -  0:00
/opt/samba/sbin/smbd -D
root 671958 634946   0 10:52:31      -  0:00

root 680114      1   0 10:52:31      -  0:00
/opt/samba/sbin/nmbd -D

When I try the echo "help"|telnet localhost 139, it
works, but it hangs for about 5 minutes.

root at r10dev01]/etc # echo "hello" |telnet localhost
139
Trying...
Connected to loopback.
Escape character is '^]'.  (It hangs at this point)
Connection closed.
[root at r10dev01]/etc #

I do not start the samba daemons out of inetd.  I have
a startup script that runs from the inittab called
/etc/rc.samba.

#!/bin/ksh

if [ -x /opt/samba/sbin/smbd ]
then
        echo "Starting smbd...."
        /opt/samba/sbin/smbd -D
fi

if [ -x /opt/samba/sbin/nmbd ]
then
        echo "Starting nmbd...."
        /opt/samba/sbin/nmbd -D
fi

When I try to use the smbclient command, I get the
following:

[r10dev01:/opt/samba/bin]79> ./smbclient
'\\AZSHSAMBAD01\dano'
Password:
Domain=[CAREMARKRX] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.21a]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME


Any ideas as to what the problem could be?  Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
