HP CIFS Server 3.0f Release Notes version A.02.03

Problem
The error message "The file may have been changed" 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.
To avoid the error altogether, a registry change can resolve the problem as described in the MS knowledge
base article found at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=324491
Samba community also observed the problem and has further characterized it in the Bugzilla at
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1094
Problem
Because of increased Windows security requirements, profile storing may fail if adequate authority has
not been configured for roaming profiles.
Workaround
Set profile acls = yes for the profile share used for the user profile files. Do not set profile acls
= yes on normal shares as this will result in incorrect ownership of the files created on those shares.
Problem
64 bit Windows XP clients cannot connect to the CIFS Server when it is configured with smb.conf
parameter "security=server". Other Windows clients could also fail to connect if they have the local
policy for LAN Manager set to "Send NTLM response only" as does the 64 bit Windows XP clients by
default.
Workaround
Use the Administrative Tool and proceed with the following steps on each failing client:
1. Select "Local Security Policy".
2. Select "Local Policies".
3. Select "Security Options".
4. Select "Network security: Lan Manager authentication level".
5. Set it to "Send LM & NTLM response" or "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security
if negotiated”.
Problem
When using the smbpasswd command the first time you add a Samba user to a new CIFS Server installation,
the command may respond with a misleading message. See the following example:
./smbpasswd -a user1
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
The misleading messages are displayed as follows:
startsmbfilepwent_internal: file /var/opt/samba/private/smbpasswd did not exist.
File successfully created.
