One thing that we need to keep in mind when comparing 5320 with Solaris
in general is that the CIFS server on 5320 has been designed
specifically to run on a NAS appliance with some limited ways that
it can be used and accessed, while in Solaris CIFS design we
had to factor the fact that it's running on a general purpose OS.

Note that my point is not to debate this specific case in the general
vs specific context. It was just a general reminder :)
