HP CIFS Server
HP CIFS Server is a SMB/CIFS-based product on HP-UX systems. It enables HP-UX
systems to interoperate with PC clients running Microsoft Windows NT, XP, 2000/2003,
and UNIX systems running the CIFS client and thus provides a fully integrated network
of UNIX and Windows systems running as clients, servers, or both.
Summary of Change
HP CIFS Server 3.0f version A.02.03 is available on the HP-UX 11i v1 December release.
It is based on Samba 3.0.22 and contains new enhancements and defect fixes. This
release delivers new enhancements as follows:
• Winbind code has been re-designed to support the non-blocking, asynchronous
request/reply behavior with the exception of user and group enumeration. With this
new enhancement, winbind provides better scalability in large domain environments
and on high latency networks.
• Fixed Size Memory Map Support:
This release supports the fixed size memory map for memory-mapped access of
Trivial Database (TDB) files on an HP-UX 11i v1 system. HP CIFS Server can access
the TDB files using memory-mapped access with a pre-determined size that is
sufficient to accommodate the growth of TDB files. To provide balance between
performance and address space utilization, the fixed size memory map feature is
supported only on locking.tdb.
• Support for configuration parameter changes in the /etc/opt/samba/smb.conf file:
There are new parameters, changed parameters and removed parameters in the
smb.conf file.
