Re: [Samba] Help with samba implementation

[Andrew Masterson]

If you are doing anything samba related on AIX, I highly suggest that
you look at the pware site.

http://pware.hvcc.edu/

there are some docs on setting up Bill's pWare compile of samba on AIX
here:

http://pware.hvcc.edu/documentation.html

And you can join the pWare mailing list here:

http://lists.hvcc.edu/mailman/listinfo/pware

Bill is usually very helpful in getting people's difficulties ironed
out, and has the most current, stable versions of samba compiled and
working for 6.1.

That is a *seriously* antique version of Samba,  you may have some
compatibility issues with newer client OSs.  pWare provides much more
current versions of Samba for AIX 

Otherwise these is nothing different about setting up Samba on AIX vs.
other operating systems.

You will need to add identical entries to all three smbpasswd (given
that you have no network backend for authentication / identification).

I'm not sure what "from AIX to windows" means.

Google is not your friend.  Avoid all documentation except
 and
 which really do lay
it out step-by-step, especially the Guide.  Start with

Do you have the smbd & nmbd services running?  Do Windows clients see
the Samba servers?
