Does anybody has already used a samba server as PDC for a filer ?
I did not try it myself but there is KB article on NOW:
----------
Solution ID: ntapcs7632 Title: Does NetApp officially support Samba as a supported protocol? NetApp filer
Problem Description: Does NetApp officially support Samba as a supported protocol?
Fix: NetApp currently supports CIFS clients, including all flavors of Windows, DAVE from Thursby, the new client in Apple's version 10 OS, and others, including Samba.
Note that if a CIFS transaction between the filer and a non-Windows host fails, while the same transaction is successful between a Windows host, suspicion should be drawn first to the client, rather than the filer. This is because our NetApp's first priority is to be compatible with Windows host.
