samba - May 2007 - What version of Samba will work with an AIX version of Unix?

Hi all
 
We are currently looking to implement a scenario where our AIX Unix
Server and Windows Server can communicate with each other using a
version of Samba. 
 
We currently scan images which are stored on our Unix system and ideally
we would like our Windows Server to have access to these files. The
software we use for our daily business is Unix based so the the scanned
images have to be primarily stored on the AIX Unix server. I understand
that you need a specific version of Samba to run on an AIX based version
of Unix and was wondering if someone feeling helpful could point me in
the right direction.
 
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
 
Kind Regards
 
Mark

Hi Mark,

to implement the samba Server you have to be more specific.

Which Version of AIX are you using?
How many people have to access to the Samba Server?

Are Unix-groups are available?
Do we need AD-Integration?

I am using a precompiled package from
http://aixpdslib.seas.ucla.edu/packages/samba.html

My integration into the Windowsenvironment is done by securtiy = DOMAIN

regards
Franz

Many thanks for your previous email, I took a look at the link you gave
me and it states that version would only work with AIX version
5.1,5.2,5.3. I have since checked our version of AIX by typing 'lslpp -h
bos.rte' at the prompt and it returned:-

LEVEL 4.3.3.75  

I then typed 'oslevel -r' and that reutned a value of 4330-09

Is there a link to a version of Samba that will succesfully install on
the my version 4.3.3.75 / 4330-09?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks

Mark
