[Samba] Share access problem from 3.4.0 (solved)

[Arendt, Volker]

Hi Bill,

please let me know when your AMP bundle is done and you have the 3.4.0
ctdb-samba version packaged. Then we could go to work and find out how a
"best practice" for setting up a clustered samba on AIX needs to look like.
:-)

regards

Volker

Indeed I would. :-) I have passed some patches back upstream for AIX, 
but I am completing a test for broken libgpfs.a before they can be 
included. In the meantime, I've been successful with a 
pware53{-64}.clustered-samba.rte 3.3.4.0 (32- and 64-bit).

I can work on the 3.4 version later today since my patch set is against 
this level. I'm finishing up an AMP refresh I can't wait to get off my 
plate. :-)

Cheers,
Bill
