HP CIFS Client A.02.01 Administrator's Guide

Configuration File
Configuration Parameters
Chapter 7116
following keywords are valid: archive, system,
hidden, on, or off. Default is on. A side-effect of
execMapping is that if the configured attribute is set on
the 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 CIFS
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 CIFS
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.
fakeDirLinks 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 of
links for directories. Alternatively you can switch off
the optimization with a commandline switch to find.
enableFakeLinks If this boolean variable is set to yes, the HP CIFS
Client can do softlinks on Windows-servers. These
softlinks can be used by the HP CIFS Client clients
only. On the Windows server they look like ordinary
files with special attributes set (system and hidden
attributes, if you have not modified the configuration).
linkModeMask, linkMode
These two integer variables define the file attributes
that are used to distinguish faked softlinks from
ordinary files. linkModeMask is 7 by default, which
means that the attributes read-only, hidden and
system are taken into account. linkMode defines the
