Hi Mark,

to implement the samba Server you have to be more specific.

Which Version of AIX are you using?
How many people have to access to the Samba Server?

Are Unix-groups are available?
Do we need AD-Integration?

I am using a precompiled package from
http://aixpdslib.seas.ucla.edu/packages/samba.html

My integration into the Windowsenvironment is done by securtiy = DOMAIN
