We're going to be using CIFS on our filers and I would like to hear about anyone's experiences with CIFS especially using it under NIS.
I tried briefly enabling CIFS about a month ago on one of our filers, using NIS, and it worked, but the filer started having problems only a few minutes later, so I disabled CIFS and NIS. The problems were pretty severe ... of the "did someone shut nfs off?" variety, but I didn't have much of a chance to investigate. We are running 4.1d.
We're using Solaris boxes as NIS servers.
For my next try at CIFS, I'm thinking about not using NIS and just using a text copy of the passwd and group files.
Has anyone else tried and/or had problems with CIFS under NIS?
