URL for Samba Server 3.0.25b is

URL for Samba Client 3.0.25b is

From Readme.os2 for the Samba server:
"History:
1) DBCS fixes from KO Myung-Hun
2) removed ldap support from public builds until it can be tested as working"

Though I don't see it in the current server readme, the previous releases require the GCC runtime libc063 -

[Moderator note: Make sure you only have one set of LIBC06*.DLLs in your LIBPATH directories.]

Finally if you would like to help support and motivate Paul to continue to port applications to OS/2-eCS, there is a Paypal donation link on his Unix ports for OS/2 page http://smedley.info/os2ports/index.php or by other means at http://www.mensys.net/os2ports/

[Moderator note: The original post earlier today had the links to the previous version which is still listed on the netlabs site. This corrected post has the correct links. Also Paul tells me that there is now a samba-user mailing list at netlabs and will soon be at Gmane. To subscribe send an email to This email address is being protected from spambots.
