Can't speak too much toward CIFS features. The main impetus behind our
NetApp purchase was NFS performance. NFS-mounting /var/mail is horrible,
unless sourced from a NetApp. When it comes to CIFS, we're solid Samba
disciples :-)

We are currently using an NT PDC, but might be looking to move to a Samba
PDC in the future. Interoperability between NetApps and Samba PDCs would
definitely be nice if we make that move.
