Rowland,

Checking with the IBM website, they now offer 4.10.13 for AIX.
After viewing that installation file (without installing), still not seeing the nfs or jfs acl libraries/files.

Peeked at 4.11.7 on the website, also don’t see these files.
Per chance, are these delivered in some other (not the standard samba) installation file?

If that answer is no...
I still need to make it work as we have it.

Is there a document that is more informative about rid setup, ACL management on AIX, or other setup/configuration options I can leverage to make this work?

It doesn’t appear that the general samba files will help me in this quest, so reverting from IBM's samba version to the general samba version wouldn’t seem to be viable.

I have sent an inquiry to Samba+ about their solutions...

Are you aware of from whom I can solicit further counsel on this installation/configuration?
Or how about setting this up so anyone can access the data with authenticating - anonymous/nobody usage?
Do I still need rid and the other facets of user administration on AIX going with nobody?

I have seen others inquiring about AIX installations - is it improper for me to reach out to them privately?

I know AIX isn’t your forte` - is there another group or person (besides Samba+) that may have that expertise to whom you could refer me?

Thank you for everything, Rowland; I truly appreciate all of your help!

Regards,

Bob Wyatt

This (documentation) has been somewhat of a struggle on my part, as most of the documentation still says Samba3. As you once suggested, I’d be better off forgetting everything I knew (which wasn't much) about Samba3. Knowing which part of the "older" documentation still applies is, well, a mystery.

Sorry, but I wouldn't know an AIX machine, even if it jumped up and bit 
me ;-) (local saying)

If you can upgrade to something more recent, you stand a better chance 
of getting it to work.
