[Samba] SAMBA with NetApp filer

[Oliver Weinmann]

Hi,

i just setup a NETAPP Filer and a few Unix/linux workstations myself with
samba-winbind. I came across a lot of problems but I found out it's best to
not use CIFS under Linux  as it doesn't work 100%. Instead you should try to
use NFS if you have a license for your netapp filer. We use mixed qtree
styles to ensure that both, windows and unix can change the permissions on a
file.

Regards,
Oli
