HP CIFS Client Error Messages
This section contains information about HP CIFS Client error messages
for the following commands:
• cifsclient
• cifsmount
• cifslogin
• cifsumount
• cifslogout
• cifslist
userdb: cannot open file
/var/opt/cifsclient/cifsclient.udb
cifsclient was unable to open the user database file for the reason given
in the message. This is normal if HP CIFS is started the first time or if
nothing has been stored in the user database so far.
userdb: database file is incompatible
cifsclient has found a user database file, but this file was written by a
different version of HP CIFS Client. For security reasons, all versions of
HP CIFS Client (even from different compiler runs) are incompatible in
this respect.
ipcclient: error connecting to daemon: ...
The commandline utility was not able to connect to the HP CIFS Client
daemon. The detailed unix error message is given. Most probably the
daemon is not running.
LOC: Server can't encrypt passwords, use option to override
Your server does not support encrypted passwords. HP CIFS Client
refuses to send passwords in clear text by default. You can override this
with the -u option. You should be aware, however, that anyone with a
network sniffer can read your unencrypted password on the network.
