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

I was hoping that maybe we could gather enough info that a bug could be identified and perhaps fixed... Thanks again! -Ben

I have no idea if this is true, but it is worth checking and if it is true, then you need to speak to whomever is compiling Samba. Rowland
