Still, in any case, it might not be pertinent to this topic - both NetServer and Samba are implementations of the SMB protocol. As described by IBM in the doc Brian Dietz found, Samba is a lightweight implementation.

Samba is an implementation of SMB - Server Message Block - which is the
underlying Windows file sharing mechanism. It's also used by NetServer.

Samba and NFS aren't the same thing then, right? Just as NetServer and

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.

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"?
