HP CIFS Client A.02.02.03 Administrator's Guide

nfsSockRxBuf This integer variable sets the receive buffer size of the socket
used to communicate with the kernel. If the value given is
out of the acceptable range for your machine, the HP CIFS
Client automatically limits the range. Increase the buffer size
if you have extremely slow writes.
nfsSockTxBuf This integer variable sets the transmit buffer size of the socket
used to communicate with the kernel. It is not be necessary
to set an explicit buffer size.
nfsTransferSize This integer variable defines the maximum block size used
in data transfer between the kernel and HP CIFS Client. The
maximum allowed value is 8k (8192). It may be necessary
to reduce the value if the NFS socket has frequent overflows,
as it may be the case with AIX 3.x. It is useful to use only
powers of 2 as block sizes. The default is 8192.
preferredPort This integer variable defines the port number that HP CIFS
Client attempts to use for NFS. If this port is not available,
the HP CIFS Client chooses a free one. It is good to have a
constant port for NFS because it allows a restarted daemon
to take over the mounts of a previous incarnation. The port
number must be below 1024 if not all local users are trusted.
cifs The structure of CIFS has its mirror in the multitude of options
for CIFS configurations. This section defines a default
behavior which can be overridden by specific
configurations. The CIFS section contains the following
parameters:
dataCacheSize This integer variable defines the number of bytes spent for
per data cache. The value of this variable should be a
multiple of 8k.
databaseFile This variable configures the path to the user database file.
It stores the user passwords and the registration key. The
default is /var/opt/cifsclient/cifsclient.udb.
databaseParseInterval HP CIFS Client can re-parse the user database file if it
changes. For this function to work, HP CIFS Client must poll
the file regularly. The databaseParseInterval variable defines
the time of this poll cycle in milliseconds. If you set this
variable to 0, the user database file is only parsed once
during startup. The default value is 10000.
domain This string variable defines the domain name the client sends
to the server. If undefined, it defaults to an empty string
suitable for all known servers.
initialDataCaches, initialDirCaches
These two integer variables define the number of caches
that are allocated for directories and data files at startup.
The defaults for both variables is 8.
bindNbnsPort This variable defines the port number to which HP CIFS
Client sends NetBIOS name service requests. If the port
number specified is not available, HP CIFS Client reverts to
a random free port. The default is 137.
bindNbdgsPort This variable defines the port number to which HP CIFS
Client sends NetBIOS datagram requests. If the port number
