Configuration Parameters
Chapter 7 111
This boolean variable configures whether NetBIOS
broadcast is enabled. WINS is feature of the NetBIOS
name server. To enable WINS lookup, you must set this
variable to yes and specify the nbnsWinsIp variable
with the IP address of the WINS server. The CIFS
servers to which you want to connect must be
registered with the WINS server. By default, this
parameter is set to yes.
lookupTryDns
This variable configures whether Domain Name Server
(DNS) lookup is enabled. The default setting is yes.
nbnsWinsIp This string variable defines the IP address of the WINS
server. If there is no WINS server in your network, set
this variable to an empty string.
nbnsInitialTimeout, nbnsTotalTimeout
The nbnsInitialTimeout variable defines the initial
timeout in milliseconds that is used by the NetBIOS
name service operations. This value is doubled on each
retry. The nbnsTotalTimeout variable defines the
maximum timeout in milliseconds that is waited for a
NetBIOS name service operation to succeed. If it
exceeds the maximum timeout, the operation fails with
a timeout error. By default, set nbnsInitialTimeout to
100 and nbnsTotalTimeout to 1200.
nbnsCacheTime The NetBIOS name lookups are cached for this amount
of time (in milliseconds).
scopeID This string variable defines the NetBIOS name scope of
the client. If it is not defined, no scope ID is used. If you
do not know what a scope ID is, you do not need one.
rmTmpKerbCredFiles
When kerberos authentication is used, the CIFS Client
uses a temporary file to store users credentials during
login processing. There is one temporary credentials
file per user per server. Kerberos tickets are not reused
by the CIFS Client, thus when the user’s login
processing is completed, the temporary file is removed.
If required for troubleshooting, these files can be
