HP CIFS Server 3.0f Release Notes version A.02.03 for HP-UX 11i v3 (December 2006)

Winbind uses the blocking, synchronous behavior when enumerating users and groups. Set both winbind
enum users and winbind enum groups to No, to force winbind to suppress the enumeration of
users/groups. The default settings of these two parameters are Yes.
TDB Memory Map Support
This release supports performance enhancements which include enabling the configuration parameter "use
mmap" to take advantage of fixed size memory map access of CIFS's Trivial Database (TDB) files. The
mechanism and number of TDB files using memory-mapped access has been tuned respective of the OS
(HP-UX 11i v3 PA or 11i v3 IA).
In case of memory-mapped failures such as low on memory resource or exceeding the fixed memory map
size, HP CIFS Server for HP-UX 11i v3 supports Unified File Cache and allows memory-mapped TDB files to
fall back to file I/O operations.
On HP-UX 11i v1, 11i v2 PA and 11i v2 IA systems, HP CIFS Server does not support TDB file I/O fall back
operations. In case of memory-mapped failures, it will result in termination of the connections.
For detailed information, refer to the "TDB Memory Map for HP CIFS Server" section of Chapter 13 in the
HP CIFS Server A.02.03 Administrator's Guide or man smb.conf.
NOTE: You must use the tdbbackup utility to backup TDB files. Do not use the cp command to backup
TDB files.
Red Hat Directory Server v7 Support
HP CIFS Server adds support for Red Hat Directory Server v7, product number NSDirSvr7, in addition to
Netscape Directory Server v6, product number J4258CA.
New —W option for smbpasswd
The new —W option has been added to the smbpasswd utility to change the ldap admin dn password
information. With the -W option, the user is prompted for the password. The password in entered in stdin,
and thus the clear text password never appears on the command line.
Support for configuration parameter changes in the smb.conf file
There are new parameters, changed parameters and removed parameters in smb.conf for HP CIFS Server
A.02.03. For detailed information, refer to the “Configuration Parameter Changes” section in the HP CIFS
Server 3.0f Release Notes version A.02.03 (part number B8725–90104) at http://docs.hp.com/en/
netcom.html.
Changed Features
The following is a list of changed features in HP CIFS Server A.02.03:
• A new option Bad Uid has been added to the map to guest parameter in the smb.conf file. This
option means that user logins that do not have a UNIX user ID for the domain user will be mapped to
a predefined guest account
• You can use SePrintOperatorPrivilege to set administrative privileges to a user for the printers.
For example, the following command grants administrative privileges to a user:
net rpc rights grant 'HPSVR1\cifsuser' SePrintOperatorPrivilege
-Administrator%cifs Successfully granted rights.
printer admin is an option that an administrator can configure to grant administrative privileges
to users other than himself. The HP CIFS Server still supports this parameter.
• The ldap filter parameter in the smb.conf file is removed. The HP CIFS Server will always use
the uid=%u as the search filter. The search filter is designed to match the login name with the uid
attribute for all entries matching the sambaAccount objectclass.
• HP CIFS Server accommodation of some Windows 2000/2003 Domain trusts has changed. HP CIFS
Servers support external trusts and shortcut trusts, but not all intra/inter-forest trusts will be recognized.
See “Known Problems and Workarounds” (page 10) for details.
