As of Solaris 10 Update 4 (also known as 8/07), the version of Samba that Sun ships with Solaris in /usr/sfw has ADS support. The version that blastwave.org has is also compiled with ADS support; however, that version has the older IDMap subsystem that makes some types of configurations more complicated.
Also although not mentioned, I suspect the Samba package for AIX on samba.org was not built with AD support either. Anybody can confirm this? The same question as where I can find AD supported Samba binary for AIX.
http://us1.samba.org/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/AIX/README explicitly mentions that it is compiled with ADS support.
I am looking for binary Sambas which are available to public to download. I am interesting in setting up Samba on Solaris and AIX to work with Microsoft Active Directory. Building from source is not an option for me.
Compiling Samba is not difficult, and then you can get the latest version of Samba and all the library dependencies; plus you get it compiled with the options you want.
