HP-UX 11i December 2006 Release Notes

Disk and File Management
HP CIFS Client
Chapter 6
134
This option allows users to log out from all current CIFS login sessions. This is
particularly useful in environments which use the CIFS Client’s Distributed File
System feature (DFS), wherein several CIFS logins can be created in the background
as users traverse a DFS tree.
• Make 32-bit errors default
The CIFS Client now uses 32-bit error codes with the CIFS servers by default, rather
than the older DOS error class.
• Improved logging
Several logging enhancements have been made in this release. These are mainly
intended to help HP engineers diagnose potential problems customers encounter
using this software. They are:
— Process information for caught signals: An enhancement of the CIFS Client
signal-handling code allows the daemon, upon receipt of a signal from another
process, to log the name, process id, and user id of that process.
— Client-server connections: The CIFS Client now logs by default (via the log level
smbConnect) informational messages regarding various client-server
connections: TCP connections, CIFS logins and logouts, and CIFS mounts and
umounts of remote shares.
— CIFS mount notifications in syslog: The CIFS Client now also writes
notifications of CIFS mount and umounts to the HP-UX syslog file
(/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log).
— Expanded headers and entries: The headers in the logfiles now contain the CIFS
Client version and process id, and the year has been added to the timestamp for
each log entry.
•The sockMode, sockOwner and sockGroup parameters are no longer configurable.
The values of these parameters are sockMode = 0666, sockOwner = root, sockGroup
= root.
