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.
Issue An existing POSIX machine account must already exist before you add the corresponding Samba machine account and the sambaSamAccount information required for HP CIFS server machine account authentication. You can use the useradd command to add the POSIX machine account with $ at the end to the /etc/passwd file for HP CIFS server to recognize it as a machine account.
