Hi,
We are trying to start and use Samba with a very simple configuration. We
are just trying to connect to an existing Windows AD Domain and trying to
mount filesystems from the AIX 5.3TL12 server to a Windows server.
Can someone tell me what the error really means for nmbd and where should
I start to look to resolve it?
log.samba:
smbd version 3.5.8 started.
