Step 3: Configuring the HP CIFS Client
The configuration file for the HP CIFS Client,
/etc/opt/cifsclient/cifsclient.cfg, can be used as delivered, with no
modification of its default values.
Editing cifsclient.cfg
The file /etc/opt/cifsclient/cifsclient.cfg.default contains factory default
settings. The user is urged not to modify this file but to save it as a
reference.
If appropriate, edit the file as described below.
1. To enable WINS lookups, set the parameter nbnsWinsIp to the IP
address of the WINS server. See “Name Resolution: NetBIOS Name
Service, WINS, DNS, IP Configuration” on page 37 for details.
2. Configure Internationalized Clients.
The CIFS Client is designed to work with a variety of
internationalized clients and servers. It can use Unicode to transmit
multi-byte characters on the network, or any of several character
encoding tables located in /etc/opt/cifsclient/unitables. See the
README file in that directory for an index of the tables.
Each table is a character map file which can be configured for
encoding file and directory names on the client or server (file
contents are not affected). The character set displayed on the CIFS
Client console is configured with the parameter clientCharMapFile,
which selects any one of the many character mapping files provided
with the product. Character translations for communications with
CIFS Servers can be done either in Unicode or through the
configuration parameter serverCharMapFile, which also is used to
select a character mapping file. Use of Unicode is turned on and off
with the useUnicode parameter.
The default settings in cifsclient.cfg are:
serverCharMapFile = "/etc/opt/cifsclient/unitables/unimapCP437.cfg";
clientCharMapFile = "/etc/opt/cifsclient/unitables/unimap8859-1.cfg";
