[Samba] Samba sessions

Sorry William,

Hi William,

Thanks for replying.

Yes, I saw how they had installed it.  Our Operations support people
installed the AIX Samba binaries to run from this directory.  They tend
to keep all third party applications in one spot.

We are running Samba version 2.2.7..the rpm files did come from IBM.

  ( http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/aix/products/aixos/linus/download.html
)

I believe at the time they installed:

 samba-common 2.2.7  (samba-2.2.7-4.aix4.3.ppc.rpm)  and
 samba 2.2.7  (samba-common-2.2.7-4.aix4.3.ppc.rpm)


Are all the Samba processes I see the norm when you run the "ps -ef"
command?  

There was something I noticed as well when they setup the Samba startup
in rc.tcpip.  I noticed they started "smbd" and then "nmbd" and the
Samba documentation says to start "nmbd" first and then "smbd".  Is it
critical to start them in the order defined in the documentation?  If it
is, then I put in a request to have this fixed.

Can I install this latest version overtop of what we have installed now?
I do have control of our Test machine, so I can perform the install
myself.  I have "root" access to perform the tasks.


Thanks again,
Dave

/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
