At IU, using Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), why can't I connect to some Samba interfaces?

Note: The problem described below appears to be fixed with the Mac OS X 10.5.3 upgrade released May 2008. If you are using Leopard, upgrade to 10.5.3 or higher if you wish to use Samba to connect to the Indiana University resources mentioned below.

In the initial release of Apple's Mac OS X 10.5, Leopard, authentication via ADS did not work. Leopard users cannot connect to the Samba interface offered by Siteshare on Webserve, the Research File Service (RFS), and Massive Data Storage Service (MDSS) at IU.

Other methods of connecting to these services are not affected by this issue. For help with other methods, see At IU, how do I access the MDSS? or consult the documents listed under "Also see:" below.
