In our environment, any logging that netapp can provide is probably useful to us in some way or another. For CIFS, the timestamp, loginid, and hostname or IP address of the login would be invaluable.
All of your resonings are fine, but as I pointed out, you don't really have this information for NFS access either, except to the extent that a UNIX server records a login (but wouldn't if from a PC). So I don't think you should be picking on CIFS on the filer! As I said, running NT security with a PDC would track this information for you. However, having the filer log CIFS and PC-NFS authentications would be useful.
