CIFS Release Notes (769570-001, March 2014)

Known issues and workarounds
Issue
QXCR1001322105
The mmap option use mmap = yes in smb.conf file, causes A.03.02.xx HP CIFS server on
11.31 PA-RISC machines, to be aborted upon starting.
Workaround
Set use mmap = no in smb.conf file, but this may reduce performance.
Issue
If you run the command smbstatus, the following error is displyed:
# smbstatus -d0
sessionid.tdb not initialised
This is normal behaviour if an SMB client has never connected to your
server.
connections.tdb not initialised
Workaround
No workaround exists.
Issue
If you run winbind on a system with multiple trusted domains and then attempt to do
setacluser:DOMAINNAME\\username:rw /tmp/fishlips, it displays the following error
message:
unknown user-id "DOMAINNAME\username
This is a timing issue that can happen when the system is under load. This is because idmap lookup
winbindd process gets spawned before the parent process is finished registering all the trusted
domains.
Workaround
Open a duplicate window and run id domain\\username.
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.
If the POSIX machine account does not exist, running the pwck command displays the following
error message:
1 Bad character(s) in logname
Workaround
No workaround exists.
Issue
When you upgrade from A.03.01a to A.03.01.01 or later versions, the swinstall command
fails with the following message:
