NetApp Filer and Samba

[John Taylor]

We are using:
NetApp Release 5.3.5R3: Thu Jun 15 10:49:14 PDT 2000

I tried to do a tcpdump( the one w/ smb support) and it looks like it is
looking for a service called MAILSLOT.  Maybe this is the serivce that was
not found??  Also, I can't get the cifs setup to complete.  I get this
message:

Enter the NT Domain for the filer: LABS

CIFS server is beginning domain installation.
    CIFS server is locating PDC.
CIFS - Primary Domain Controller must be active for installation.

CIFS local server is shutting down...
