I haven't done anything on the authentication side, but I have an F50
running AIX 4.3.2.0 with SAMBA installed, and that works okay. I also
use NFS quite regularly to get stuff across to my Linux box, i.e with
the RS/6000 acting as an NFS server.
I seem to recall seeing something posted in the comp.unix.aix
newsgroup to the effect that if you want to use an AIX box as an NFS
client with a Linux NFS server, you need do "nfso -o
nfs_use_reserved_ports=1" on the AIX side to avoid the possibility of
file corruption. Check the NG yourself, though, before relying on the
vagaries of my memory for anything mission-critical! :-)
