[Samba] Samba on AIX with security = ads - does it actually work?

Hi there! Thank you for the reply, John!

I have the following set in /etc/security/user:

default:
  ...
  SYSTEM = "compat OR WINBIND"
  ...

Earlier I had tried adding "registry = WINBIND" to that as well, but it did not change the behavior.

Do you have Samba working on any of your AIX systems with "security = ads"? Would you be willing to share your smb.cfg's [global] section, krb5.conf, methods.cfg, and /etc/security/user's default: section (appropriately sanitized, of course)?

I can't thank you enough!
