Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.
Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.

I was not able to get these binaries to run on OSR 5.0.6, despite several hours of patient tinkering. While I could get smbd and nmbd to start, something apparently was not compiled in, as numerous complaints about missing plugins and failures to execute SUID appeared in the log.smbd file. Also, I could not get Samba to accept domain log-ins.
Attempts to run the findsmb utility to probe the network for SMB machines caused core dumps. Since my current (2.2.8) configuration works flawlessly, I have to presume that these new binaries are flawed in some way. Perhaps something is in the wrong place, but without a directory map to go with the binaries, there's no way of telling.

As preparation for trying this on a 506 machine, I untarred samba_506.tar.bz2 into /usr/local/samba on a 507 box, it ran fine after creating smb.conf in the appropriate directory.
smbstatus does emit about a dozen messages saying support for plugins is not compiled in. However I can access my OpenServer shared directory from WinXP fine.
samba_506.tar.bz2 is samba version 3.0.1 by the way.

The 3.0.1 Samba release in samba_506.tar.bz2 has a number of problems, including one where orphaned smbd processes are left running after a Windows user logs out. The processes are still bound to the machine that started them. Result is that the next attempt to log in on the same machine hangs or outright fails.
Due this problems and several others that have been noted (you'll see what I mean if you peruse log.smbd), we have rolled back all of our Samba 3 on OSR5 installations to Samba 2.2.12. SCO has been notified that there's a problem with their distro.
