HP CIFS Server Release Note
Known Problems and Workarounds
Chapter 116
Problem Changing the password stored in the smbpasswd file from a Windows XP
machine without the sign and seal patch will fail and corrupt the
password for the user.The password must then be reset by the
administrator if this occurs.
Problem When you use terminal server clients to access to shares on a CIFS
server, all of the clients from that terminal server connect over a single
virtual connection, and are serviced by a single SMBD process on the
CIFS Server. This can lead to a number of issues, including too many
files open by a process, too many locks, and performance degredation for
the clients, since they all share a single SMBD process.
Workaround For the Windows NT, you can set a registry parameter,
MultipleUsersOnConnection, to 1 which forces each terminal server
client to negotiate its own connection, so that each client gets a separate
SMBD process.
For the Windows 2000 terminal services, Microsoft provides a hotfix,
Q818528. You can apply this hotfix and set the following values:
Subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MRxSmb\ /
Parameters

Problem “The file may have been changed” error message occurs when you
save an excel file to Samba. The error message also provides choices to
either “save a copy” or “overwrite changes”.
Workaround When prompted, answer "overwrite changes" otherwise the file must
be saved under a different name.
