For those of you using NFS Maestro to log onto NetApps from NT workstations, what authenticates the user?
The filer does, more or less. If you're using NIS, it passes the request along to the NIS server. If you're using local passwd/group info, the filer checks that file and makes a decision accordingly. If you don't know, check the filer's /etc/nsswitch.conf file.
I get "Authorization Error" when logging in, unless I'm user "nobody" with no password.
You'll note, one of the default entries in the /etc/passwd file on the filer is 'nobody' with an empty password. Try logging in as 'pcuser' with no password. Now you'll have two UIDs! Woo hoo!
