samba - Apr 2004 - Samba 3.0.x and Netapp filers

Hi !

Siemens is migrating away from Windows fileservers to Netapp Filers. 
First I thought great thats cool get rid of some more MS boxes...
But now I face troubles connecting to the shares on the filers.

Our support states a cite from netapp as: "samba is not compliant with 
the specs"

Could anyone suply me with ammunition to counter that or knows why the 
netapp does not allow to authenticate/connect (even not for only listing 
the shares)

best regards

This is untrue. If you're having problems please
escalate up NetApp support - if you keep having difficulty
I can give you some contacts within NetApp to get support
to give you the right answer.

We test with NetApp at Connectathon and at the CIFS
conference, up to and including joining NetApp filers
to a Samba domain.

Samba and NetApp filers work very well together.
