OES2 SP3 breaks CIFS on 64-Bit (Error -1660)

The NMAS method in OES2 SP2 is called Windows Native File Access, in OES2 SP3 is is called cisfslinlsm.

Upgrading OES2 SP2 (64-Bit) broke system

Confirm See in /var/log/cifs/cifs.log & Run ndstrace to confirm as well (Select NMAS as option)

Steps to correct:

1.  Remove NMAS Login Method Windows Native File Access

2.  Add back CIFSLINLM nmas login method

I used this file to recreate /opt/novell/cifs/share/nmasmthd/ntlm/config.txt

using

nmasinst -addmethod wells.context TreeName /usr/novell/sys/PUBLIC/NMAS/METHODS/CIFS2/config.txt -h ServerIP

In Imanager, under NMAS Login Methods cifslinlsm description should be netware server, linux server, and linux64 server.

3.  Verify LSM, see file_cifs_ln.pdf from Novell section 4.4.3

I had files missing in /var/opt/novell/eDirectory//data/nmas-methods/  ( I installed fresh temp server to get files)

4.  Verify it Works

Update:   Novell has confirmed this is a bug, only seems to happen if you update to SP3 from the Online Updater at the bottom of the screen.
