Accessing AIX samba server via Windows

[generaal]

We have a "main" AIX server as well as a samba one. On the Samba server, there is an nfs mounted on a directory on the main server. I can access the Samba server from Windows, and this directory. I want to do this with another directory. I have mounted the nfs filesystem, but cannot access it from Windows.

Have you configured the samba smb.conf file to see the directory that you want to export to the windows environment?

Works fine for me on my AIX 5.1 systems using Samba 3.0.14a

/usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf has the stanza

[mnt]
        path = /mnt
        read only = no

I then ran

mount other_server:/export /mnt
/usr/local/samba/bin/smbcontrol smbd reload-config
/usr/local/samba/bin/smbcontrol nmbd reload-config

and I can now see all the files through the NFS mount.

Great! Thanks guys. Now I just need to figure out how to control access. That should keep me busy for a few more days.
