[Samba] Samba errors

[Keith.Stevens at fms.treas.gov]

Hi,

We are trying to start and use Samba with a very simple configuration. We 
are just trying to connect to an existing Windows AD Domain and trying to 
mount filesystems from the AIX 5.3TL12 server to a Windows server.

Can someone tell me what the error really means for nmbd and where should 
I start to look to resolve it?

log.samba:

smbd version 3.5.8 started.
