To gain read/write acess to the etc directory via CIFS, make sure the account you are using to access the filer is in the filer's local Administrators group, and that "options wafl.nt_admin_priv_map_to_root on". It also might help to put the NT account you are using as mapping to root in /etc/usermap.cfg.
If these all don't work, try calling 1-888-4-NETAPP for assistance.

Hi,
Another question on the F85...
We're trying to set it up with a win 2k administration host (we've done it with a UNIX host and all works fine there, NT or win2k is an operational requirement)...
Despite many attempts, we are unable to write to the /etc directory. We can mount \netapp\C$ just fine, but cannot write.
I've set it up in a number of different ways - with the administrative host set using a hostname (with host defined in /etc/hosts on the filer), IP address or set to 'all' ('return' at the prompt in setup).
cifs access seems to be fine, we can access other directories on the filer with no problem, and we can see stuff in /etc, we just can't write. Writing to a different directory gives us files created by 'nobody4:nogroup'.
We've tried this as Administrator on the win 2k system, or as a particular user (defined as a domain admin) with that user set up in /etc/hosts.equiv. No luck.
We do have a good (apparantly) connection to our domain controller, and we have a computer account in the NT domain for the filer.
I'm pretty much stumped at this point...
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Ross
