The CIFS server is Solaris 10, Samba 3.0.28. It is definitely serving
up CIFS as I had to manually upgrade the CIFS module on some older
(Linux) clients to deal with a deficiency in the pre 1.50 CIFS kernel
module.
I patch the Sun box regularly, and the thought had occurred to me that a
Sun patch was to blame, but there was no major version changes around
the time that the breakage occurred. Looking at the bugfixes in each
patch, nothing stood out that might indicate a change in the FS
representation.
