/opt/freeware? This sounds like Linux Application pack code. There is also no version listed. Have you tried the AIX binaries?

Use the following links:

http://us1.samba.org/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/AIX/README
http://us1.samba.org/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/AIX/opt-samba-base.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.hvcc.edu/pub/pware/aix52/pware.samba-3.0.24.3.0.24.0.bff

(The last link is the repaired non-PAM binary).

Follow the directions in the README and let me know how you get on.


Cheers,

Bill
