On our AIX 5.2 system we have Samba 3.0.4 and 3.0.21b.  The smb.conf files
are identical for both versions.  The 3.0.4 version runs fine, but with
3.0.21b, we get errors like the following when trying to run smbclient:

I don't understand why it would make a difference which version we use.  If
it did not work with either version, then the configuration would be
suspect.  Here is the Global part of smb.conf.

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 11.16.153.117 (11.16.153.117)
# Date: 2006/02/08 14:34:33

# Global parameters
[global]
        workgroup = FEDERATED
        netbios name = CCASEMCOM4
        server string = MCOM4 Samba Server
        security = DOMAIN
        update encrypted = Yes
        password server = fd000xsfed01
        smb passwd file = /var/samba/private/smbpasswd
        passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd
        log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m
        large readwrite = No
        max xmit = 65535
        time server = Yes
        unix extensions = No
        deadtime = 30
        max open files = 15000
        dns proxy = No
        kernel oplocks = No
        ldap ssl = no
        create mask = 0775
        directory mask = 0775
        mangle case = Yes
        map archive = No
        oplocks = No
        level2 oplocks = No
        strict locking = No

What is missing, or wrong, that would cause 3.0.21b to fail?

Thank you.
