Apparently on V7R2 Samba server can be used to replace NetServer if you set it up.
Unless you've downloaded it and set it up, you're probably using NetServer still.
That's why the PTFs would be in zip format since they go directly to the IFS for application I would guess.
When I asked for documentation IBM didn't have anything IBMi specific at the time for Samba download and set up. They may now.

subject: Samba
I get this "IBM My notifications - Operating Systems" email from IBM.
In it is a section "2. IBM i 7.1: Urgent support notifications (Recommended by IBM support)"
So I click on that and I see:
Security Bulletin: IBM i is affected by the following SAMBA vulnerabilities (CVE-2015-0240) March 23, 2015 Security vulnerabilities have been discovered in SAMBA..
http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1020638
So I click on that and I see:
The issue can be fixed by applying the SAMBA PTF to the IBM i System.
The IBM i PTF numbers are:
Release 7.2 ? SI56213
Now I am thinking no big deal, just download and apply this PTF. Wrong.
When I read this cover letter I see that I have to use jar to unzip a file and run a bunch of other stuff.
Why do they do this crap with PTF's for stuff like Samba and WAS? Heck I don't even know if I'm using Samba. How do I tell? And how do I "restart the Samba server"?
