Status of NetApp joining Samba PDC

[Lars-Gunnar Persson]

I've checked the version number of Samba and it's 2.2.2.

I don't know how to run the smbpasswd program to verify the bug. Can you
please explain to me what to do?

I've included at the end of this e-mail the setup proces on the NetApp, the
log from the NetApp when trying to connect to the Samba PDC (JOHANSEN)
server and also included the samba log (sverdrup is the name of the NetApp).

Any help appreciated.

Regards,

Lars-Gunnar Persson
