guestRemoteUser The guestRemoteUser 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 guestRemotetUser, all Unix
users that are not logged in are treated as if they were
the given Unix user. The UNIX user named in
guestRemoteUser should be logged in, of course, e.g.
with the -s option to cifsmount or cifslogin.
guestPassword This variable sets the password of a user specified by
the guestRemoteUser parameter.
fileModeMask This variable can be used to limit the UNIX
permissions given to files by the CIFS. The default
setting is 0777. Do not change unless you know what
you are doing. The UNIX permissions are not relevant
for whether a user can access a file. They are relevant
after files are copied from a CIFS share to the local disk
since the cp command preserves attributes.
dirModeMask This variable can be used to limit the UNIX
permissions given to directories by the CIFS. The
default setting is 0777. Do not change unless you know
what you are doing.
ctimeIsCreate This variable defines whether the UNIX ctime (Change
Time) is taken from the DOS Creation Time or copied
from the file modification time. If this parameter is set
to yes, the creation time is used. The default setting is
no.
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. The default is no.
execMapping This enumeration variable is useful for files stored on
Windows servers. It defines which DOS attribute would
be mapped to the UNIX execute permission. The
