HP CIFS Client A.02.02.01 Release Notes

Problems Fixed in Version A.02.02.01

HP CIFS Client A.02.02.01 is a maintenance release. Users are encouraged to upgrade to this version, one

serious defect has been fixed, and several overall improvements have been made, as described below.

HP CIFS Client A.02.02.01 provides the following fixes. For detailed information about new or changed

features, see “New or Changed Features in Version A.02.02.01” (page 7).

• mv(1) across DFS links

This fix removes a limitation of the Distributed File System feature, in which a “permission denied”

error was encountered when a file was moved across a DFS link.

• CIFS Client cores during non-sequential reads if server disconnects

(JAGag05228)

This problem was discovered through the use of a Veritas backup utility, which performs non-sequential

reads. The underlying problem (which has been fixed) is an unexpected server disconnect while the

CIFS Client does read-aheads on non-sequential reads.

• Multiple sessions for one user in the Samba smbstatus utility

(JAGag02614)

If the CIFS Client is used with a Samba server, and the server is set up to use the “valid user” feature,

and the CIFS Client user is not in the “valid user” list, a large number of duplicate entries appear in

the output of the Samba smbstatus utility on the server. A modification of the CIFS Client eliminates

this problem.

• CIFS server name NULL in syslog errors generated outside of cifsclientd

(JAGaf98069)

This fixes a bug in which CIFS server names were null in HP-UX syslog entries.

• cifsdb returns 0 for requests to delete invalid server

(JAGag05632)

If the server in "cifsdb -d server" is not valid, that is, if the user does not have an entry in the

user database for that server, cifsdb returns 0, which on UNIX usually indicates success. With this

fix, the return value for an invalid server is 1, and the error message “FRW: Internal error:

Referenced object not found” is printed on the console.
