Known issues and workarounds Issue The wbinfo command fails sometimes when a large number of users or groups (~32k users or groups) are in a trusted domain. Workaround No known workaround exists. Issue The wbinfo command hangs when the trusted domain is unavailable. Workaround No known workaround exists. Issue If the libnss_wins NSS library is used, then the sh_load() error message is returned. Workaround The libnss_wins NSS library is not tested. Therefore, it must not be used.
Issue When you use terminal server clients to access to shares on a CIFS server, all of the clients from that terminal server connect over a single virtual connection and are serviced by a single SMBD process on the CIFS Server. These actions might lead to a number of issues, including too many files open by a process, too many locks, and performance degradation for the clients, since the clients share a single SMBD process.
Workaround Using the Administrative Tool on each failing client: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Select Local Security Policy. Select Local Policies. Select Security Options. Select Network security: LAN Manager authentication level. Set the authentication level to Send LM & NTLM response or Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated.
Workaround No workaround exists. Issue Some Windows 2000/2003 Domain trusts might not be recognized by HP CIFS Server, including some intra/inter-forest trusts. Workaround When required to accommodate the intra/inter-forest trusts that HP CIFS Member Servers might be exposed to in a forest, shortcut trusts can be explicitly created. HP CIFS PDCs support external trusts, which can be sufficient for Samba and Windows inter-domain trust relationships.
