Configuration File
Configuration Variables
Chapter 7 85
cfgParseInterval HP CIFS Client can reparse the configuration file
while running. For this feature to work, the HP CIFS
Client must poll the file regularly. The variable
cfgParseInterval defines the time of this poll cycle in
milliseconds. If it is set to 0, the file is only parsed once
during startup. The default is 0.
sockMode
sockOwner
sockGroup File access mode and ownership for the UNIX domain
socket that is used for communication between the HP
CIFS Client daemon and the commandline utilities.
The access mode may be given in octal notation, if
prefixed with a leading 0; in hexadecimal notation if
prefixed with a leading 0x; or in decimal notation if not
prefixed with any of the above. Owner and group may
be given by name or as numeric id. Do not set these
values to anything other than mode=0600 and
owner=root unless you really know what you are doing.
The file access modes of this UNIX domain socket are
used to provide secure authentication of the user that
requests a service to the daemon. If these variables are
not configured from the file, they default to the correct
values.
runAsUser The HP CIFS Client daemon must be started as root.
To improve security, it switches to a different user-id if
root privileges are not needed. The user id used for this
purpose can be configured with this value. It may be
either a user name or a numeric id.
pidFile HP CIFS Client can maintain a file with the process id
of the daemon,if desired. If this variableis defined, it is
interpreted as the path of the file where the pid should
be stored. If it is not defined, no such file is created.
databaseFile This variable configures the path to the user database
file. It stores passwords, mounts, and the registration
key. The default is /var/opt/cifsclient/cifsclient.udb.
allowSaving This boolean variable defines whether user passwords
and mounts may be stored in the user database.
Setting it to no disables storing. The default is yes.
