You don't get SAMBA for Win2000. SAMBA emulates a W2K/NT server, so it's
not needed on a W2K server.

On AIX, using SAMBA, you cannot mount an W2K share from a W2K host and use
it as a normal filesystem. You can do it the other way around though. It
all depends on where you want the actual files to reside.

Thanks

Steven

Samba runs as a server on a Unix system and allows Windows to connect to it
as clients. Am I correct?

Someone wants me to run samba on Win2000 as a server, with a AIX box acting
as a client. Is this possible, or desirable? Ther requirement is to share a
directory between the AIX and Win2000 box.
