What’s New in Version A.01.09?

This release contains the following enhancements:

• Kerberos Authentication

This release provides Kerberos authentication within the cifslogin

and cifsmount commands, and provides a method for automatic

CIFS logins by integrating CIFS authentication with programs that

utilize the system Kerberos cache, such as PAM KERBEROS and

kinit(1).

• ONC AutoFS 2.3 Support

With this release , ONC AutoFS version 2.3 can automatically

perform direct and indirect mounts of CIFS ﬁlesystems.

NOTE ONC AutoFS 2.3 Support applies only to HP-UX 11i version 2.

• Reduce number of packets required to do long directory listing

This enhancement improves performance of the “ls -l” command

on mounted CIFS ﬁlesystems.

• Fix for duplicate /etc/mnttab entries

This ﬁx eliminates a problem where, in certain instances, duplicate

entries for CIFS-mounted ﬁlesystems can be created in /etc/mnttab.

Duplicate entries no longer occur in the output of mount(1M).

• Eliminate NFS RPC timeout warnings on slow SMB responses

This ﬁx eliminates NFS warnings that can occur if a CIFS network

request (an SMB) is not completed before the NFS request timeout

occurs.

NOTE The ﬁx for eliminating NFS RPC timeout warnings applies only to

HP-UX 11i version 2.
