Using Samba 3.x to access Novell NetWare servers

[Ravi Natarajan]

The Novell NW servers were running CIFS service when we tested it. When
we tested samba 3.0.10b client with Novell NW 5.1 CIFS server, we
noticed that the FIND_FIRST2 Data segment of the Trans2 Response was
corrupted - some additional bits were added to the response data that
corrupted the file names.

The server must be running a CIFS service, otherwise the Samba client
tools
(which speak the CIFS protocol) won't have anything with which to talk.
