AIO
----

AIO support is installed in this package. If you have problems starting Samba,
try the following:

	$ lsdev -Cc posix_aio
	posix_aio0 Available  Posix Asynchronous I/O
	
If the above says "Defined" instead of "Available":
	
	$ mkdev -l posix_aio0
	posix_aio0 Available

	$ chdev -l posix_aio0 -a autoconfig=available -P
	posix_aio0 changed

The first command forces the kernel extentions for AIO support to be loaded.
The second command forces the ODM to make posix_aio0 available on each boot.

Retry the commands above for "Starting Samba".


Missing Symbols

If you get a message similar to:

Check your version with "oslevel -r". A "00" on the end means your system
is baseline and should be upgraded. These symbols are available in
subsequent maintenance releases. Go to the link provided for maintenance release information.

LIBPATH
-------

At some sites due to sysadmin requirements or for political reasons
LIBPATH is set to point to other necessary libraries. This can be a problem
when LIBPATH overrides the library path embedded in the executables.


The best approach is to create a Samba startup script that has:

unset LIBPATH

near the top so that LIBPATH cannot get in the way.
