If you upgrade to sco 5.0.7, you get samba 3.0.20 5.0.6 had samba 3.0.14. so im wondering why your using samba 2.2.. samba 3.0x. is on the supplimental discs. Gr.

Samba 2.2 was built into the base release, supplements weren't always stable or well supported. OpenServer 5.0.7, the final release before the disastrous and overall incompatible upgrade to version 6, was released over 12 years ago. I took a look some years ago at upgrading OpenServer 5 release systems to OpenServer 6, and I couldn't keep any of the relevant in house software working *anyway*, and it was really expensive. It made better sense to move away from a vendor that was in legal and fiscal and technological ruin. (Check the old www.groklaw.net archives, it was a fascinating destruction of a previously robust company and technologies.) So it was much easier to simply upgrade to an RHEL release and migrate the in house software, and keep an old OpenServer system or two alive as needed to ensure access to old data by running virtual machine on VMware. VMware works well with 5.0.7, or you can find my old notes on Google about how to virtualize some of the older releases. You can, in theory, try to build up the tool chain from Skunkware published tools at ftp://ftp2.sco.com/pub/skunkware/osr5 to get a more recent Samba version, but I don't recommend it. I went through that for OpenSSH, and it was really non-pretty. Rather, if possible, I'd look at using a more modern Linux or possibly OpenBSD as a Samba server, if needed, and use any remaining OpenServer hosts only as clients, preferably as NFS clients since that is better supported by OpenServer.

Yes it came with samba 2.2 and it worked up to a point, but it would have been better to upgrade samba, but I was advised not to try, as that way lay nothing but pain. The company then upgraded the version of 'gold' and this required a new server which now came with SLES, a much better OS. It may be that the legacy programs the OP is using, may have later versions that will run on Linux. Another thing to think about, just how secure is a program that is over 12 years old ? Rowland

Any remaining support would be truly accidental.
