For a long while I used AmiTCP with Samba. The main reason for this is that I could not get Samba to work reliably with Miami (back then the Samba docs did not mention Miami) . However things are different now and I would never go back to AmiTCP.

Most of my initial success when installing Samba with AmiTCP was due to this excellent tutorial by John Crookshank. Please note that this tutorial is a getting a little old now. Even so the basics of installation have not changed that much. The main comment I would make is that 'nmbd' can now be run as a daemon (not that I ever did this with AmiTCP) rather than from inetd - something which is recommended in the current Samba docs.

I have no interest in supporting AmiTCP, but I would suggest to those of you who still use it to read both my Miami and Genesis guides. The information in these combined with that in John Crookshank's guide should put you in the right direction. If you really get stuck, then mail me :)
