Simon,
Are you bound into the NIS domain? How about a Windoz domain? If the answer is yes to both you may need to map the user Unix-Windows in /etc/usermap.cfg.
If you are bound to a NIS domain but *NOT* a Windows domain then you'll have to add a local user on the Filer with the "useradmin useradd {user}" command. Once you do this you'll be able to get data back with the "wcc" command seeing all the NIS groups the user is part of. Take care to make the local user the same as the NIS user and {hopefully} the PC user you want to mount the CIFS share as.
There are a couple of great documents on this in the NOW site under "troubleshooting".

Hi,
I have a filer with CIFS and NFS licenses. I want to share UNIX style qtrees on PC and UNIX. Currently, if a qtree has UNIX style permissions it will not allow the PC user to open a share. If the qtree has NTFS permissions it will not allow UNIX users to access the share. I have a set-up in my own office where we have NIS, and this handles the name resolution. However, the office I am in currently does not have NIS. I have tried createing a password and group file on the filer, identical to the password files used on the UNIX systems, however this has no effect.
Any ideas?
