HP CIFS Client A.02.02.03 Administrator's Guide

ignored if you are already logged in. Must be used with

the password option.

password=passwd Password for username 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.

This makes it possible to pass a dynamically generated

password to the server. Password is ignored if the user is

already logged in at the server. Must be used with the

username option.

ipaddr=ipaddress Use only this IP address to connect to the server. This setting

causes the CIFS Client to bypass all name-resolution

procedures for this mount request, and supersedes any

corresponding entry configured in cifsclient.cfg.

plaintxt Enable plain text passwords. The HP CIFS Client refuses to

send passwords in plain text to the server by default

because this is a security risk. There are tools available that

sniff the network for plain text passwords. If you really must

send the password in plain text (e.g., because your server

does not allow password encryption), you can enable it

with this option. It is ignored if the user is already logged

in at the server.
