Hi All,

I am a long time user of Netapp hardware, having bought a 1440 FASserver back when it was new and cutting edge :-).

I've left the computer world for a couple of years, and when my brother started to have server issues I recommended a Netapp to him and his small company in Pheonix.

Trying to help him get this set up remotely has shown itself to be impossible, and he has no external network connection that I can get in and configure his system.

He's got a fresh Linux install, and a 700 series Netapp that has a CIFS and NFS license. The problem is permissions, he was unable to configure it so it would work with a Windows domain server (preferred) and he was unable to use the Linux box (UNIX illiterate) to get a simple password file set up and operational. There are too many small tweaks that can get set that screw him up.

It isn't an advanced install, it just needs to have the setup completed so that Windows2000 users can connect up and have a home directory and authentication on the server, and a private directory exported for the Linux database server to store some files.

Is there anyone in the Pheonix area who can handle a short paid consulting job to get this straightened out? I'd go, but I'm 2,000 miles away.

Thanks,
