    Yeah, I get to read my typo too !!!

    I wrote:

     I think the compiled Samba @ UCLA for AIX 5.1 will work on AIX 5.1.

    Should say:

    I think the compiled Samba @ UCLA for AIX 5.1 will work on AIX 5.2.

    Well the question is different here. If you want to provide SMB shares
    to Windows clients, then you will need Samba, TAS (TotalNet Access
    Server) or Fast Connect.

    If you want to mount SMB shares to an AIX host, you can use the CIFS
    support built in to AIX 5.2+...

    I think the compiled Samba @ UCLA for AIX 5.1 will work on AIX 5.1. I
    know previous versions have (2.2.9, 3.0.8); but we compile our own Samba
    now to change locations and options.

    Here is the UCLA link for Samba:

    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/moun
    t.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/n
    fs_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?
