HP CIFS Client A.02.02.03 Administrator's Guide

permissions are not relevant for whether a user can access
a file. They are relevant after files are copied from a CIFS
share to the local disk since the cp command preserves
attributes.
dirModeMask This variable can be used to limit the UNIX permissions
given to directories by the CIFS. The default setting is 0777.
Do not change unless you know what you are doing.
ctimeIsCreate This variable defines whether the UNIX ctime (Change Time)
is taken from the DOS Creation Time or copied from
the file modification time. If this parameter is set to yes, the
creation time is used. The default setting is no.
fakeMountpointDate If this boolean variable is yes, the modification and access
times of the mount point always read the current time. This
is useful for servers that return bogus values for the
modification dates of root directories, such as Windows
NT. The default is no.
execMapping This enumeration variable is useful for files stored on
Windows servers. It defines which DOS attribute would be
mapped to the UNIX execute permission. The following
keywords are valid: archive, system, hidden, on, or off.
Default is on. A side-effect of execMapping is that if the
configured attribute is set on the server, the file will be listed
on the UNIX Client with the execute bit set for all users
(owner, group, and other).
WARNING! If you plan to store UNIX executables on an
CIFS server and invoke them on a UNIX Client, then the
default setting execMapping = on is required. In this case,
as seen by the UNIX Client, the execute bit is set on all file
listings from the CIFS server. Using execMapping = on will
not affect the attributes of files on HP CIFS Servers; those
will still behave like normal UNIX files.
execInvert When this boolean variable is yes, the execute bit (as
derived with the execMapping setting) is inverted.
fakeDirLinks If the server does not supply a number of hard-links for
directories, this number is used. The value defaults to 2, if
not specified. Some implementations of the UNIX utility find
determine whether recursion is necessary or not from the
link count. If your find uses this optimization, you may want
to fake a high number of links for directories. Alternatively
you can switch off the optimization with a commandline
switch to find.
enableFakeLinks If this boolean variable is set to yes, the HP CIFS Client can
do softlinks on Windows-servers. These softlinks can be used
by the HP CIFS Client clients only. On the Windows server
they look like ordinary files with special attributes set (system
and hidden attributes, if you have not modified the
configuration).
linkModeMask, linkMode These two integer variables define the file attributes that are
used to distinguish faked softlinks from ordinary files.
linkModeMask is 7 by default, which means that the
