HP CIFS Client A.02.02 Administrator's Guide

Configuration File
Configuration Parameters
Chapter 7122
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
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.
