1) I'm an NT person, with little UNIX programming experience. I heard about Samba, downloaded it, and have been trying to figure out how to run it. 2) I have an HP 712 with HPUX 10.10. I downloaded Samba-1.9.17p1 and did the make and makefile. 3) I''ve been reading the web-page man pages for hours, but didn't spot anything that says what to do next. I've tried running pograms that appeared in the /usr/local/samba/bin directory, but they all fail with "Execute permisison denied". I tried changing the permissions to 777. The only program that seems to run is "addtosmbpass", but there is no man page for it, and when I do run it, it hangs. So, I hope one of you more experienced people can tell me what the next step is.
