HP CIFS Client A.02.02.02 Release Notes

HP CIFS Client Overview
CIFS is the native networking protocol on Microsoft Windows operating systems. The HP CIFS
products for HP-UX provide a wide range of integration strategies for HP-UX and Windows.
The HP CIFS Client enables the HP-UX host to mount directories shared by remote CIFS servers
(Windows, HP-UX, and other server platforms on which CIFS has been implemented)
The HP CIFS Server enables the HP-UX host to provide access to its own shared directories by
remote CIFS clients (Windows, HP-UX, and other CIFS clients); it emulates Windows file and
print services.
With these products, in a heterogeneous Windows and HP-UX network, any system can be a
client or server to any other system.
The HP CIFS Client bundle also includes PAM-NTLM, a "pluggable authentication module" that
allows HP-UX logins to be authenticated by a centralized service on a CIFS domain.
