CIFS service was running but won't start after reboot.

After restarting CIFS, it was identifed that CIFS was no longer running.  In checking the cifs log entries, the following messages were seen:

Additionally, in looking at the /var/opt/novell/log/proxymgmt/pxy_mgmt.log file, the following messages were seen:

ldap_bind: Invalid credentials
    additional info: NDS error: bad password (-222)

The passwords in CASA & eDirectory need to be the same, the easiest way to do this is to:

1. Have an eDirectory admin manually change the password of proxy user (in eDirectory) to a known password.
2. login as 'root' on the linux server and update common proxy password in CASA.
• first, document the common proxy object in ldap notation (i.e. cn=OESCommonProxy_svr02,ou=SERVERS,o=MYORG)
• next, document or know the password the eDir admin assigned to the common proxy.
• finally, run /opt/novell/proxymgmt/bin/cp_update_proxy_cred.sh using the id & password from above.
3. Run /opt/novell/proxymgmt/bin/change_proxy_pwd.sh -A yes.
   This will automatically change the common proxy password in eDirectory, as well as update the credentials of all services (on the system) using common proxy.

CIFS was configured to use the OESCommonProxy id for proxying purposes.  The password stored in the eDirectory object did not match the password stored in CASA on the local server.  Hence the -222 errors.
