Hi Nick,

This topic should be on samba@lists.samba.org - not technical. I'll give you a brief overview, and any followup send to me directly.

HP-CIFS Server for 11.0 is based upon Samba 2.2.12. Support for 11.0 ends there - at 2.2.12. Go to:

http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=B8725AA

If you want to continue on 11.0, HP posts 3.0.14a Opensource binaries to Samba.org, but they are not supported by HP. The Opensource binaries will eventually be upgraded to 3.0.20a, but we do not guarantee when. Of course, you are free to build your own. Samba binaries for HP-UX can also be loaded from:

http://hpux.cs.utah.edu.

There was a topic earlier today and last week about 11.0, 3.0.14a, and prerequisite Opensource libraries. See:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=samba&m=113025750223530&w=2

HP-UX 11iv1 and 11iv2 are a different story. Email me directly (from cc list) for more information.

I've just inherited the sysadmin role for an HPUX 11.00 / PA-RISC
machine, which is running Samba 2.2.8a (!) but not very well - they want
me to sort Samba out .... and I'm wondering:  which is the "best" Samba
for such a system ?

The last time I admin'd HPUX was at 10.20, but I'm aware that HP were
going to create an official supported product for HPUX 11.x, based on
Samba and called "CIFS".  I've surfed around *.hp.com but all I can find
are highly general product descriptions, and faqs - nothing definite
about CIFS, or what Samba version it might be based on.

I note that http://us4.samba.org/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/hp/ only has
3.0.14a as the latest binary, and I know you guys have fixed an ocean of
things since then.

Is CIFS the "best" Samba for HPUX, or would a vanilla 3.0.20b be better
?
If best=CIFS, where can I get it ?
Is there a downloadable CIFS that keeps up-to-date with the latest Samba
V3 ?

Thanks - sorry for the interruption - reply off-list if this is too OT
... or tell me I should use [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead
