HP CIFS Client and HP CIFS Server
With HP CIFS Client and HP CIFS Server, Hewlett-Packard provides a Common
Internet File System (CIFS), the Microsoft protocol for remote file access. CIFS is built
into all recent Windows operating systems, including Windows 95, 98, NT 4.0, and 2000.
By providing both server and client, CIFS enables file and print interoperability for
environments with a mix of UNIX and Windows platforms.
For the most recent information on HP CIFS Client and HP CIFS Server, see the release
notes and other documents listed below under “Documentation.”
updated for
September 2003
The HP CIFS Client A.01.09 provides the following new features and defect fixes:
• Kerberos Authentication, integration with System Kerberos Cache:
This release provides Kerberos authentication within the cifslogin and cifsmount
commands, and provides a method for automatic CIFS logins by integrating CIFS
authentication with programs that utilize the system Kerberos cache, such as PAM
Kerberos and kinit.
• Added support for new infolevel for FIND_FIRST and FIND_NEXT SMBs:
An enhancement has been implemented that improves interoperability with
third-party CIFS Servers that do not support older SMB infolevels.
• Fix for duplicate /etc/mnttab entries:
This fix eliminates a problem where, in certain instances, duplicate entries for
CIFS-mounted filesystems can be created in /etc/mnttab, thus causing duplicate
entries to be displayed in the output of mount.
• Resolved defect of CIFS mounts becoming unusable:
This fix eliminates a cause of a rare problem wherein a CIFS mount can become
inaccessible under certain conditions.
• Enhancements to PAM NTLM:
PAM NTLM now supports the ignore option, as well as per-user configuration within
the pam_user.conf and pam_updbe framework.
• New option for representation of mounted CIFS filesystems:
In previous releases, the representation of mounted CIFS filesystems in the output
of mount and bdf followed a proprietary form. In this release, the standard UNIX
representation of a mounted filesystem (server/share) can be displayed by setting the
configuration parameter, mtabName, to the null string:
mtabName = " "
• Enhancements to cifsclient control script
