    A couple of days ago we were discussing the possibility of not needing
    samba in AIX 5.2+. Some documents that Lamar provided were:

    http://www16.boulder.ibm.com/doc_link/en_US/a_doc_lib/cmds/aixcmds3/mount.htm

    It is similar to the Linux smbmount where CIFS is now built into the AIX
    5.2 kernel.

    and

    http://www16.boulder.ibm.com/doc_link/en_US/a_doc_lib/aixbman/commadmn/nfs_smbfs.htm

    Maybe they can help?

    I haven't looked at them myself yet but if we can now use nfs similar to
    samba for mibs, that would be great.

    Where can I download a working version of SAMBA for AIX 5.2?
