HP CIFS Client A.02.02.03 Administrator's Guide

encryption password is used for logins to the server. If the
value is set to ntlmv2, then NTLMv2 is used. The default
setting is ntlm.
smbPacketSigning This string variable specifies which option is used by the HP
CIFS Client to perform packet signing. The valid entries for
this parameter are enbled, required and disabled.
By default, this parameter is set to enabled.
preventCreationEnable,
preventCreationPattern
These parameters can be used to prevent creation of files
on CIFS servers that match a given pattern.
preventCreationEnable is a boolean variable; its
default value is no. Setting it to yes prevents creation of
files on the CIFS server with names that match the pattern
specified in preventCreationPattern. If
preventCreationEnable is set to no,
preventCreationPattern is ignored.
preventCreationPatternis a string variable. The
default value is null (""). File names that match the text
pattern defined in preventCreationPattern cannot be
created when preventCreationEnable is set to yes.
The pattern can include the wildcard characters "*" (match
any sequence of characters) and "?" (match any single
character), thus an expression like "*file" matches file names
such as my_file, xxfile etc.
For example, to prevent users from placing DOS executables
on the server, configure these parameters as follows:
preventCreationEnable = yes;
preventCreationPattern = "*.exe";
smbOverTCP This is a boolean variable that controls whether to use SMB
over TCP, which causes the CIFS Client to bypass the
NetBIOS Session Services for server connections. The default
is no.
NOTE: Windows NT servers do not support SMB over
TCP; they do not accept connection requests on the
established TCP port for this functionality (port 445). If you
have NT servers in your network, and have enabled SMB
over TCP, then you must create an "individual server" entry
in the configuration file for each NT server. Individual server
entries are placed after the "server.default" section,
and before the tag "# End of 'server' section".
For example, if an NT server's NetBIOS name is
"ntsrv01", the section can be:
ntsrv01 = {
smbOverTCP = no;
};
unixExtensions This boolean variable is used to enable or disable CIFS
UNIX extensions for connections to CIFS servers. The valid
values for this parameter are yes and no. The default setting
is yes. This variable can be configured globally or on a
