HP CIFS Client A.02.02 Administrator's Guide

Configuration File
Configuration Parameters
Chapter 7 121
useUnicode This boolean variable specifies whether the HP CIFS
Client will use Unicode if the server supports it.
domain This string variable defines the domain name the client
sends to the server. If undefined, it defaults to an
empty string which should be suitable for all known
servers. (move to cifs.domain)
alwaysEncryptData
If this boolean variable is set to yes, only SSL (Secure
Socket Layer) connections with the server are accepted.
If set to no, SSL is negotiated with the server.
guestRemoteUser The guestRemoteUser configuration solves the
following problem: each UNIX user must be logged in
(mapped to a CIFS username/password pair) at the
server in order to access it, even if the share is public.
It may be impractical to log in each user if there are a
large number of UNIX users who, for example, want to
access a public share where access permissions are not
important. If you define a guestRemotetUser, all UNIX
users that are logged in to the HP-UX system, but not
logged in to the CIFS server, are automatically logged
in to the CIFS server, as the guest user, when they
attempt to access its mount point. No pre-existing login
for the guestRemoteUser is needed. The name specified
as guestRemoteUser must be the name of a valid
account on the CIFS server or its domain, and the
correct password for this user must be specified in the
guestPassword parameter.
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.
