Hi All, I finally compiled Samba 3.0.12pre1 (and 3.0.11) successfully on AIX 4.3.3! The steps I took will be placed at http://itayemi.tripod.com/samba.aix433.html Issues: I have joined an AD domain with the following commands. When I check on AD, I find that the computer is listed as a "DOMAIN CONTROLLER"? net ads join net join -U Administrator%password Is this OK? My intention is just to make the machine a regular computer on the domain (or just a member server) Also, I can't change the security permissions on a share that belongs to me which is the main reason I am testing Samba. I have a Samba 2.2.5 installed at the moment, but permissions on folders/files are not as fine-grained as I would like. I would like users to be able to grant access/deny access as they please to other users/groups in Active Directory to their files/folders on the samba server. With samba v 3.0.12, if I acess the security property on a folder and attempt to grant another user access to the folder, I get an error stating that I don't have the right permission to do so or an access-denied message. Any ideas? (I added the winbind lines later but it didn't change anything) [global] workgroup = MYREALDOMAIN server string = ARCHIVESYSTEM security = ADS encrypt passwords = Yes update encrypted = Yes password server = my-ads-server username map = /var/samba3012/users.map log file = /var/samba3012/log/log.%m max log size = 50 dns proxy = No wins server = 10.10.1.16 browseable = yes show add printer wizard = no realm = MYREALDOMAIN.COM idmap uid = 15000-20000 idmap gid = 15000-20000 winbind use default domain = Yes winbind enum users = yes winbind enum groups = yes [homes] path = /home/%S read only = No create mask = 0755 browseable = No [Printers] comment = All printers path = /var/samba/spool printable = Yes browseable = No
