HP CIFS Server 3.0l Release Notes version A.02.04.01 (5900-1556, March 2011)

Workaround

Verify that the user has been added correctly and ignore the misleading messages.

• 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, shortcut 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

An existing POSIX machine account must already exists before you add the corresponding

samba machine account and its sambaSamAccount information required for HP CIFS Server

machine account authentication. You can use the useradd command to add the POSIX

machine account with a “$” sign in the end to the /etc/passwd file for HP CIFS Server to

recognize it as a machine account. Because of this, running the pwck command gives the

following error:

1 Bad character(s) in logname

Workaround

No workaround exists.

• Problem

Use the useradd command to add the POSIX machine account with a “$” sign in the end

to the /etc/passwd file for HP CIFS Server to recognize it as a machine account. The pwck

command may give the following error:

The above error indicates that the home directory does not exist.

Workaround

Use the "-m" option with useradd when adding a POSIX machine account. The home

directory will be created for the new account if it does not exist.

• Problem

The delete operation on a large number of files from a directory takes a long time to complete.
