back on the Leopard and Data ONTAP CIFS train:
As some of us have found, 10.5.2 doesn't play nice with ONTAP cifs.
NetApp has created a BURT:
http://now.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/bol?Type=Detail&Display=283117
Its classified as a severity 3 (serious inconvenience) because there's a work around by passing credentials over NTLM after kerberos fails.
The workaround fails in our environment. We think its because NTLM works but we disallow NTLM and only allow kerberos or NTLMv2.
We've heard that the issue is scheduled to be fixed in 7.2.6 slated for October.
If you have similar issues or if you'd like it fixed earlier, please open a case and reference the BURT. The more customers that report the problem gives them a bigger reason to release a fix sooner.

At least in my environment, this now partially works in 10.5.2. Based on my experimentation: What works is doing a "Go -> Connect to Server" and punching in cifs://netapp. What doesn't is trying to browse to it over the network. I'm not sure why one works and the other doesn't.

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. -=-=- gerald villabroza <geraldv at stanford.edu <http://stanford.edu>> technical lead, its storage, stanford university > -----Original Message----- > From: Patrick van Helden [mailto:pvh@databasement.eu <mailto:pvh@databasement.eu>] > Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2008 8:24 AM > To: Carl Howell; Villabroza, Gerald > Cc: toasters@mathworks.com <mailto:toasters@mathworks.com> > Subject: RE: NetApp & Leopard > > Hi Guys, > > Why don't you guys use a 3rd party client like "Dave" or "Admitmac" > from Thursby? > > Admitmac even has Windows DFS support > > Regards, > > Patrick van Helden > Databasement BV > pvh@databasement.eu <mailto:pvh@databasement.eu> > > > > -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- > Van: owner-toasters@mathworks.com <mailto:owner-toasters@mathworks.com> namens Carl Howell > Verzonden: wo 1/30/2008 15:56 > Aan: geraldv@stanford.edu <mailto:geraldv@stanford.edu> > CC: toasters@mathworks.com <mailto:toasters@mathworks.com> > Onderwerp: RE: NetApp & Leopard > > Gerald, > > Thanks for the feedback, and yes, feel free to reference us. > > --Carl > > -----Original Message----- > From: Villabroza, Gerald [mailto:geraldv@stanford.edu <mailto:geraldv@stanford.edu>] > Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2008 8:49 AM > To: Carl Howell > Cc: toasters@mathworks.com <mailto:toasters@mathworks.com> > Subject: Re: NetApp & Leopard > > 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.
