HP CIFS Client A.02.02.03 Administrator's Guide

CIFS Client's user database file. It is possible to get the HP CIFS hash values
of the passwords (which is functionally equivalent to the passwords
themselves) out of this file, although the file itself is not sufficient.
You can use this option safely only if you are the only one who has physical
or root access to your machine or if you trust everyone who has this access.
The HP CIFS Client does not store unencrypted passwords in the user
database. If your server does not support encrypted passwords, you cannot
use this option.
Examples
The following command mounts the share entiredisk from the server bigserver at the local
mountpoint /mounts/bigserver and mounts as read-only filesystem.
cifsmount -r //bigserver/entiredisk /mounts/bigserver
Files
Mounts info using the cifsmount -s command are stored in the HP CIFS Client's database file,
/var/opt/cifsclient/cfgdb.ppl. The path to this file is not configurable.

Synopsis
cifslogin [<options>] <servername> [<username>]
cifslogin [<options>] //<servername>/<share>
Description
The cifslogin command is used to authenticate additional users at a server. Only authenticated
users may access mounted files. Each user accesses the file at the server with his or her privilege
status at that server. Because there must be a one-to-one (many=to-one) mapping from local users
to remote user names, every user can log in only once at a given server. By default, cifslogin
sends the user's login name to the server. You can specify the username using -U option.
Options
-P <password> Password given in commandline. Use this option only if you really have
to, because all commandline parameters may show up in the output of
the ps command. It gives you the possibility to pass a dynamically
generated password to the server. The password is ignored if the user
is already logged in at the server.
-U <username> Login on the server as this user.
-D <domain name> Specify the domain name that is sent to the server.
-S Reads the password from stdin. This option may be useful if you want
to use cifslogin from a shell script or another program. The -P option
is insecure for this purpose because the Unix command ps can show
the commandline parameters of running processes.
-N Do not prompt for a password. This option may be used to avoid
prompting for a password if you are already logged in at the server or
if the user does not have a password.
