Hi, We have implemented a new AIX 5.3, P55A using Samba...we have about 70 users online most of the day. We assign a particular Samba share to everyone when they login so it shows up in their Windows Explorer. Is it standard that we see so many "smbd" processes running when I do a "ps -ef"? Here is a portion of the output below. We have been experiencing lag at times

Hello all, I just installed 3.0.24 in AIX5.3 using installp binaries. The install went well, and I can connect to shared directories from Windows. When I try to log in to the SWAT tool, it does not accept the password of any userid that I try with, including root. I don't recall having to do anything special to use SWAT on my older servers running SAMBA 2.2.8. I have added the following

Hi I am still trying to run SAMBA on AIX with "security = ads" and I have a few questions: - on AIX is no such file as /etc/nsswitch.conf --> Do I have to add the configuration somewhere else? - I allways get this "User xy is invalid on this system" if try to map a share from Windows. What does this mean? Is the user invalid on the Domain? on AIX? on SAMBA? Is the User

Hi All I'm trying to intergrate samba server with ADS on AIX 6.1 TL04, for last one week, with idmap / winbind but no satisfactory results. I have gone through various links at samba.org relating to winbind, idmapper and followed http://pware.hvcc.edu/ for precompiled binaries and http://pware.hvcc.edu/AIX-Samba.pdf which is for AIX 6.1 TL03 though. I have found the samba which is provided

Dear all, I have a client who uses Samba 3.0.28 on AIX 5.3 and he is running into problems with the cpu utilization which is 100% caused by one or more smbd processes. I found out that this problem should be solved in version 3.0.37 and want to know if there is a way to get the bff-file of this version. I am not able to compile samba myself on the machine which has the problem and I am

I have been trying to get AIX 5.3 ML-11 integrated with MS AD (MS-2003 with SP2 and SFU 3.5). It has given me a few y hairs. I have not been able to get it to function correctly. I have followed various tech articles and installation notes that I have found on the web. They are all basically the same in that they suggest to either compile the required components from scratch or to use the

Hello! I need to install Samba on AIX and the AIX folder in https://download.samba.org/pub/samba/Binary_Packages/ has only a readme that points to the following address: http://pware.hvcc.edu/ However that host is down, what is the best way to get Samba binaries for AIX? Thanks!

Hi Rowland, Thanks for the update. The setup we have is unaltered from long time. Now we are asked to install the patch for CVE-2017-7494, since we are not running the affected version its fine for now. But can you please let me know what are vulnerabilities in 3.0.28 and any patches available for it. I will try to update it to the latest version on our dev servers first. Moreover we have the

I have been trying to configure/compile Samba 3.5.2 and 3.4.7 on AIX 5.3 with ML-11 and ML-10. The configure issues that I am getting only occur if I use --with-ads. I can run configure on both versions if I do not include ADS support. The errors I get are: checking for krb5_principal_get_realm... no checking for krb5_princ_realm... no configure: WARNING: krb5_mk_req_extended not found in

Hi, When we first installed SAMBA on our IBM AIX 5.3 server, we created 6 shares. For some reason we have discovered that to access a Samba share we always had to assign one share ahead of all others to a user for that user to gain access. ( i.e. If a user requires access to the "extracts" share, we have to assign the "reports" share first in the user login, and then assign

Hello, I installed Samba 3.0.24 on my AIX 5.3 and configured it to authenticate users via winbind. I followed the previous thread 'Samba on AIX --> nsswitch.conf', copied WINBIND to /usr/lib/security and modified the default: stanza in /etc/security/user to include WINBIND (in the SYSTEM and registry entry, respectively). Additionally, I added an entry in /usr/lib/security/methods.cfg.

Hi all, I've got Samba with Winbind working on AIX 5.3 and 6.1 fairly well with Active Directory 2003. In fact, I'd say short of 2 very important services, it's working almost perfectly. Unfortunately, these 2 services are quite critical, and without them I'm afraid we'll have to resort to some sort of proprietary identity solution like Novell, which I'm not crazy about.

Hello AIX folks, I am changing the packaging of Samba for AIX. Presently Samba is built with a truckload of static libs and bound up in a package that has no other support for the supporting infrastructure. What I'd like to do instead is make as much of the package dependant upon shared libs and to allow for completeness of the package. In other words, BDB, OpenSSL, OpenLDAP, SASL, KRB5,

Hi all I have installed samba in my UNIX server 5.2.But I am facing problem both in running swat and starting the samba daemons.

Hi All, I am using Samba 3.2.4 compiled from source on AIX 5.3 TL8 and using "security = SERVER" in the smb.conf works fine, however I am having some issues when using "security = ADS" .. I have followed numerous HOWTOs and newsgroup listings and seem to be going round in circles .. I think I can authenticate ok against the domain win2k3 server, but then Samba bombs out with
