HP CIFS Server 3.0c Release Note version A.02.01.02

HP CIFS Server Release Note
Known Problems and Workarounds
Chapter 126
Workaround Access the file directly from the Windows client instead of through
Windows Terminal Services.
Problem Creation of symlinks using UNIX extension fails if a full path is used to
specify the symlink.
Workaround Change to the directory where the symlink will reside and create the link
using relative path.
Problem Once the wins server option is set in the smb.conf file, it cannot be
cleared using SWAT utility
Workaround Edit the smb.conf file manually to remove the wins server entry.
Problem A non-root user running smbstatus may receive the following errors
when there are established connections to Samba:
“/var/opt/samba/locks/connections.tdb not initialized.
This is normal if an SMB client has never connected to your
server.”
Workaround The current version of smbstatus requires the write access permission
for /var/opt/samba/locks/connections.tdb,
/var/opt/samba/locks/locking.tdb and
/var/opt/samba/locks/brlock.tdb files.
For a workaround, ensure that any users attempting to run smbstatus
are given the write access to these files.
Problem The nmbd log file does not go in the log file directory after setting log
file, the smb.conf variable, to change debug log file destinations.
Workaround For a workaround when starting the CIFS Server, specify where the
nmbd log file goes by entering the following at the command line:
nmbd -l “/new/log/file/path/logfilename” -D
For a permanent workaround, edit /opt/samba/bin/startsmb.
1. Change ${samba_path}/nmbd -D
to
$ {samba_path}/nmbd-l/new/log/file/path/logfile -D
