Patrick,
Tough to mandate dave or admitmac in a diverse higher education environment. 100's of macs show up after the Christmas holidays and they all expect to use university resources immediately.
Carl,
Our understanding from Apple is that the next Leopard update, 10.52, will address the CIFS access issue. It's in a testing phase now but not available to folks external to Apple.

Hi Guys,
Why don't you guys use a 3rd party client like "Dave" or "Admitmac" from Thursby?
Admitmac even has Windows DFS support

Carl,
We're experiencing the same issue when accessing DOT 7.2.2 CIFS in Win 2k3 AD with OS X 10.5.1.
We've opened a case with Apple and here's what they came back with:
##### When a Leopard client opens a session, it sends three mechanisms in this
order, KRB5, some OID I don't what it is, and MS KRB5. The filer returns an unsupported error.
Apple thinks DOT is just bailing on the first unsupported mechanism
and
not checking the whole list. Tiger only sent the MS KRB5 mechanism so that is why it works.
Apple is working on building a test of their kerberos library that
puts
MS KRB5 as the first mechanism to validate the hypothesis. #####
Leopard can authenticate via K5 against MS WIN 2k3 systems fine in our environment, just not against DOT.
Luckily Apple and NetApp are both TSAnet members and can collaborate
on
the support case.
Do you mind if reference your experience at UWF with NetApp and Apple? And if you don't, do you have a case # with NetApp?
Its interesting to hear of other hi-ed's with this issue. Any others out there? Like other issues in our space it helps to band together.

I've stumbled across a problem we're having accessing filer hosted
CIFS
shares from Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.1. The Leopard boxes I've tried
this
on are all bound to our Win2k3 Active Directory. If you log into
Leopard
with your domain credentials and try to access a share on a
filer(this
happens on all of our filers and all are at 7.x and above), you will
be
prompted for your password. If you try to access the same CIFS share hosted on a Win2k3 box, you will get right in.
Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks,
