2. Call the script created in step 1 from the .profile file.
3. Execute the unsetKRB5CCNAME command in the.profile file. So, the subsequent
Kerberos calls from the user session use the default file path, /tmp/krb5cc_{uid}, for
the system Kerberos credentials cache.
• Checking user specific rights to a file
CIFS Client does not have any provision for checking user specific rights to a file. CIFS Client,
Server and cifsclientd registers itself as a NFS server running on the local HP-UX system. So
for local HP-UX system, CIFS Client mounted shares acts as NFS mounts and HP-UX sends NFS
Client commands to the CIFS Client mounts.
Moreover, CIFS Client is really not a NFS Server, but it is a partial mapping between CIFS
and NFS. CIFS Client depends on SMB protocol so it doesn't have capabilities to provide
user specific access rights.
For PAM NTLM
The passwd(1) program may not return any message (Success or Failure) in some cases. For
example, if the user tries to change his password when the "user cannot change password" option
is set on the NT server, the passwd command does not return a message. In such cases, check
the return value of the passwd command (passwd returns zero for success) and the syslog file
(/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log).
