The problem you describe below is fixed in Data NOTAP 5.3x. If you're on an older version, you might want to upgrade. There's another issue, though. The fix for which should be in the next release of Data ONTAP, which isn't far off (sorry for being vague). If you're interested in a good NetApp mailing list that's not run by NetApp, drop an email to: "majordomo@mathworks.com" with "subscribe toasters" in the body of the message. You can also just send your questions to toasters@mathworks.com.

The filer has CIFS as most users connect with WinNT or Win95/98 machines. When I try to connect with smbclient I get the following message: session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRerror (Non-specific error code.) I have tried many different options, but an example command-line is: smbclient -L TOASTER1 -I <ip> -U wishek -n wishek_laptop -W <workgroup> The client requests my password, afterwhich I get the above error.
