this is a samba issue : logon to a win domain during the authent process can be made by two slight different manners : crypt the password in unicode crypt the password not in unicode

currently samba doesn't support correctly the unicode (3.0a) and currently the netapp support only unicode althought windows client support both...

so, when the netapp try to speak with samba, they can't understand each other

you still can't integrate a Filer in a domain managed with samba unicode support for authentification is in the roadmap of samba it was planned to work with 3.0 (6 months ago) but doesn't work in fact we have to wait

Hi,

We are trying to join a FAS 270 to a domain controlled by and OS X server running Samba 3.0.

We choose to do it NT4-style.

When we do this, the following happens:

Is this an OS X issue? Or a samba 3 issue?
