We are running cl 5.4 on AIX 5.3 TL05 with Samba 3.0.23d. We started down the path of setting up a share on a windows server that was actually a directory on AIX but ran into issues with meditech background jobs accessing files within the share. So we switched direction and are using the smbclient to access a share on the windows server from AIX. We have kron jobs schedule to kick off the smbclient commands. So far in our testing it is working as desired.
Thanks, Barb
