Does Samba (as a client) work well with AIX? I've heard that Samba works well as a SMB server, but might have troubles as a client connecting to other SMB servers. Can anyone comment on how well Samba works as a client? Are there any other SMB clients available for AIX? I need a few AIX boxes to connect to my OS X Servers via SMB (trying to get rid os NFS and replace it with SMB). My OS X Servers are running OS X Server 10.3.9 (Samba 3.0.10)

Other Unix variants don't have the capability to use samba at a filesystem level similar to nfs, UFS, XFS, WhateverIBMUsesFS.
