Hi Bill,
Yes, I know it's old. I think at the time of the install, 2.2.7 was the
current version. I think the IBM rep downloaded it from the SAMBA site
and installed it.
Here is my smb.conf file as it stands now. My SWAT output is below
that.

Hi Dave,
Version 2.2.7 is very old. Is this the IBM provided version from the AIX
toolbox? You may want to consider:
http://pware.hvcc.edu/downloads.html
and download something more recent in the 3.3 (3.3.10) or 3.4 (3.4.5)
series.
Also, it is helpful to include your smb.conf (minus any security related
stuff) so we can view your setup and offer advice.
Cheers,
Bill
