Hi all,

I've installed Samba on an AIX machine but i couldn't start the smbd daemon to be able to share files with windows machines

the error i get is this:

i used truss command to test why this is happening and that's the output:

(The output is too long so i just copied few lines)

Code: 
getgidx(1)                                      = 0
getgidx(2)                                      = 0

Can you post your smb.conf file

also try disabling max open files in smb.conf

Did you try adding max open files?

max open files=10000

You may have to alter nofiles = -1 in /etc/security/limits

Also try removing this line:
interfaces = 10.5.3.98/255.255.255.0

Restart Samba & make sure your smbd and nmbd processes are running.
Run smbcontrol smbd ping to make sure Samba is ready.

If it fails, what error are you getting when the client tried to connect?
