Has anyone successfully installed and configured Samba as a domain member from the various RPM's offered from the IBM Toolbox website? Can you offer any advice for getting it up and running? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Here was my last post latish Friday night US Eastern Time. ===================== Posted some time ago on 4.6 - updated it to 4.10.13-1 as released by IBM. Added a Kerberos configuration file, updated smb.conf, changed the startup order to nmbd first, winbindd next, then smbd. Now nmbd and smbd are running, while winbindd is not running.

Read that smbd wouldn't start without winbindd, starting at 4.9. Yet it started here without it - is that right? 2. Wasn't able to test with getent per the wiki for joining as a member Not a valid AIX command; web suggested using lsgroups and lsusers, Which only test local name and group resolution. Any other ideas how it can be tested? 3. Any suggestions for resolving my issue(s)? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Bob Wyatt
