Samba Installation

Need assistance installing Samba on AIX 5200-10 with a host name of banora.

Downloaded samba-3.0.4.0.bff off the Bull Freeware site
and installed it with smit okay.

Am using the IBM Redbook SG24-6004-00 Samba Installation, Configuration, and Sizing Guide July 2000 based on ver 2.0.6 as this is the only detailed AIX/Samba installation guide I could find.

The book says to test the installation, which failed.

I did the following.
# find / -name smbclient
/usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient

# /usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient -L banora
Error connecting to 192.168.0.144 (A remote host refused an attempted connect
operation.)
Connection to banora failed

# ping 192.168.0.1

192.168.0.144 PING Statistics 3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 0/0/0 ms

The /etc/samba/smb.conf and /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf files are as follows.

[global]
workgroup = OPEN SOURCE
server string = Samba 3.0.4.0
security = user
encrypt passwords = Yes
smb passwd file = /var/samba/private/smbpasswd
log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m
mangle case = Yes
[homes]
force user = %U
read only = No
hosts allow = 129.183.
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /usr/spool/samba
printable = Yes
browseable = No
[public]
path = /tmp
guest ok = Yes

The Redbook says that inetd.conf should include smbd, nmbd, and SWAT entries with the SWAT entry to be uncommented. I can find none of the entries in inetd.conf.

Using Seamonkey I ran http://banora:901 but nothing came up in 5 minutes. I suppose this is because of no SWAT entry in smb.conf

Have a series of AIX and Windows machines on a P2P network and was looking to use Samba to communicate between them.

Would appreciate some help to get the samba-3.0.4.0.bff installation up and running.

Cannot proceed to chapter 3 Basic Configuration as cannot get SWAT up and running.

Thanks
