Re: qntc - netapp box

Have you tried having one of your NT servers map a drive to the box, and
then re-share it?

I didn't think QNTC supported Samba at V5R1, but I could certainly be
wrong.  Are there specific Samba versions it supports?  Sometimes these
embedded Linux boxes use old versions that they have tweaked and customized
themselves.

We're on V5R1 at the moment. I'm trying to make some existing apps work
that were written to use qntc, so they've got all the conditional mkdir
stuff built in. Engineering snuck this one in when we weren't looking. The
Netapp box seems to support all versions of Windows. We've got plenty of
old NT4 boxes around, and I haven't heard of any other problems, just that
the AS400 can't access the share. IBM said qntc would support Samba. They
suggested that maybe it had something to do with SMB signing being active,
which qntc doesn't support, but that was before I realized I wasn't working
with a windows server. Maybe Samba is using SMB signing, but wouldn't that
cause problems with the NT4 workstations? The only error message we've been
able to identify says that either the server isn't active, or it's using an
unsupported protocol. I guess maybe that could point to SMB signing?!?
Anyway, we sent a trace to netapp, but they don't seem to be falling all
over themselves to fix it.
