Configuration Variables
Chapter 7 93
execMapping This enumeration variable is useful
for files stored on Windows servers. It
defines which DOS attribute whould
be mapped to the UNIX execute
permission. The following keywords
are valid: archive, system, hidden,
on,oroff. Default is on. A side-effect
of execMapping is that if the
configured attribute is set on the NT
server, the file will be listed on the
UNIX Client with the execute bit set
for all users (owner, group, and
other).
WARNING If you plan to store UNIX
executables on an NT server and
invoke them on a UNIX Client,
then the default setting
execMapping = on is required. In
this case, as seen by the UNIX
Client, the execute bit is set on
all file listings from the Windows
server. Using execMapping = on
will not affect the attributes of
files on HP CIFS Servers; those
will still behave like normal
UNIX files.
execInvert When this boolean variable is yes, the
execute bit (as derived with the
execMapping setting) is inverted.
dirDefaultLinks If the server does not supply a
number of hard-links for directories,
this number is used. The value
defaults to 2, if not specified. Some
implementations of the UNIX utility
find determine whether recursion is
necessary or not from the link count.
If your find uses this optimization,
you may want to fake a high number
