Using the HP CIFS Client

This section presents summary of how the HP CIFS Client can be used.

The basic procedure is (1) start the daemon, (2) mount shared

directories, (3) log in to CIFS Servers. These steps and some useful tips

follow:

1. Start the daemon.

Normally the system administrator, logged in as root, enters this

command at system startup:

$ cifsclient start

CIFS Client started; process id: 12783

To check status at any time:

$ cifsclient status

path: /opt/cifsclient/sbin/cifsclientd

version: FILESET HP CIFS CLIENT: Version: A.01.09

Compiled on HP-UX B.11.00, s785/C360,

cksum: 2781544263

status: CIFS Client is up; process id 12783,

started Apr 13

mntck: ok

You can also conﬁgure your system to start the CIFS Client

automatically at bootup by editing the ﬁle /etc/rc.conﬁg.d/cifsclient

such that the run ﬂag is set to 1: RUN_CIFSCLIENT=1. There must

be no spaces on either side of the equal sign.

2. Mount and unmount shares on a CIFS server.

This must be done by root. Directories mounted by the HP CIFS

Client must ﬁrst be conﬁgured as shares on the HP CIFS Server.
