    What is the simplest way to mount an NFS share exported from a Windows server on AIX 5.3?
    When we mount, by default, the file permissions are empty (sometimes) and the ownership shows nobody:nobody

    Our AIX system is based on /etc/passwd and /etc/groups ( no NIS ) and Windows servers use AD

    Given the above scenario what is the easy way to map identity?

    • or -
    Is it worth the pain or go shall we use 'cifs' ?

    What are the best practices in using either?

    TIA
