HP CIFS Server 3.0f Release Notes version A.02.03

Problem
64 bit Windows XP clients are unable to add a new ACE. Adding an ACE through Windows Explorer
File->Properties->Security interface to a file or directory from a Windows XP Professional 64-bit
edition results in an error that reads:
This program cannot open the required dialog box because the specified
computer <samba servername> cannot be determined to belong to a domain.
Try again.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
Problem
Some Windows 2000/2003 Domain trusts may not be recognized by HP CIFS Server including some
intra/inter-forest trusts.
Workaround
When necessary to accommodate the intra/inter-forest trusts that HP CIFS Member Servers may be exposed
to in a forest, shorcut trusts can be explicitly created. HP CIFS PDCs support external trusts which may
be sufficient for Samba and Windows inter-domain trust relationships. For more information about
Windows 2000/2003 trusts, consult the MS TechNet papers at http://technet.microsoft.com.
Problem
Wbinfo may fail after winbind startup during the time winbind cache is being created. This is noticeable
with very large caches which are more likely to exist when many users or groups are being used.
Workaround
There is no workaround other than to wait until winbind has finished building its cache. The time required
will vary depending on the number of users and groups that winbind is supporting. A way to see if
winbindd_cache.tdb currently being initialized or expanded is to check for changes in its file size. For
example,
$ ll /var/opt/samba/locks/winbindd_cache.tdb
-rw------- 1 root sys 40960 Aug 31 14:32 /var/opt/samba/locks/winbindd_cache.tdb
$ ll /var/opt/samba/locks/winbindd_cache.tdb
-rw------- 1 root sys 40960 Aug 31 14:33 /var/opt/samba/locks/winbindd_cache.tdb
If it remains unchanged (e.g 40960 = 40960), the initialization has been completed and wbinfo should be
able to run successfully.
