Configuration Variables
Chapter 792
domain This string variable defines the
domain name the client sends to the
server. If undefined, it defaults to an
empty string which should be
suitable for all known servers.
alwaysEncryptData
If this boolean variable is set to yes,
only SSL (Secure Socket Layer)
connections with the server are
accepted. If set to no, SSL is
negotiated with the server.
guestUser The guestUser configuration solves
the following problem: each UNIX
user must be logged in at the server
(be mapped to a CIFS
username/password pair) in order to
access anything, even if the share is
public. It may be impractical to log in
each user if there is a large number of
Unix users who want to access a
public share where access
permissions are not important. If you
define a guestUser, all Unix users
that are not logged in are treated as if
they were the given Unix user. The
UNIX user named in guestUser
should be logged in, of course, e.g.
with the -s option to cifsmount or
cifslogin.
fakeMountpointDate
If this boolean variable is yes, the
modification and access times of the
mount point always read the current
time. This is useful for servers that
return bogus values for the
modification dates of root directories,
such as Windows NT or Windows 95.
The default is no.
