Samba Install on AIX

[tonygee]

Could anybody help me install Samba on my Risc box running AIX 4.3.3?

Much appreciated,
Tony.

Thanks,

The freeware.bull site appears to be unavailable. I've downloaded and installed the package from samba, but I still need setup instruction.

Hello!
when you have downloaded binary for AIX 4.3.3 of Samba 2.2.1 then install it from smit .
The installation structure is :
/usr/local/lib/smb.conf ---> configuration file at default location
/usr/local/sbin/smbd --> smb daemon
/usr/local/sbin/nmbd --> netbios smb daemon
/usr/local/sbin/swat --> Web admnistration tools for Samba.

for starting up SMB daemons at boot you can add this 2 lines in "/etc/rc.nfs" :
/usr/local/sbin/nmbd -D
/usr/local/sbin/smbd -D

Then Samba is active, you must configure smb.conf and restart.

Bye
