We have problems configuring for CIFS-file sharing against OS X clients.

Domain controllers are Win 2003, OS X clients are 10.4.10, NetApp are FAS3050 running 7.2.3P2 and 7.0.5.

In order to run cifs setup, we had to turn off netbios over tcp on the filers (if not, the filer could not communicate with the DC's). We use AD domain authentication.

Now, windows-clients are able to connect to the filer, but OS X clients, which are not able to use SMB over TCP, are not able to connect.

We can turn on netbios over tcp on the filer, this enables OS X clients to connect, if they use kerberos for authentication (which is perfectly acceptable). However, the filer will loose its connection with the DC (as reported by cifs testdc), and I have a feeling that this is not the correct way to configure this.

So what is the recommended way to configure netapps for CIFS-file sharing in a mixed OS X and windows environment?

Thanks in advance for any help. -- kind regards, Anders Skolseg Bruvik a.s.bruvik@usit.uio.no USIT (BSD), University of Oslo
