HP CIFS Server Release Notes (5900-1266, April 2011)

Known issues and workarounds
Issue
The wbinfo command fails sometimes when a large number of users or groups (~32k users or
groups) are in a trusted domain.
Workaround
No known workaround exists.
Issue
The wbinfo command hangs when the trusted domain is unavailable.
Workaround
No known workaround exists.
Issue
If the libnss_wins NSS library is used, then the sh_load() error message is returned.
Workaround
The libnss_wins NSS library is not tested. Therefore, it must not be used. The library will be
removed in the future versions of the product.
Issue
After the wins server option is set in the smb.conf file, it cannot be cleared using SWAT
utility
Workaround
Manually edit the smb.conf file to remove the wins server entry.
Issue
A non-root user running smbstatus might receive the following errors when HP CIFS Server is
not started and tdb files have not been initialized:
could not open file /var/opt/samba/locks/sessionid.tdb: No such files
or directory
Error: Failed to initialize locking database
Workaround
The current version of smbstatus does not allow a normal user to initialize tdb files. A normal
user must perform smbstatus after HP CIFS Server is started by root, or tdb files have been
initialized.
Issue
Changing the password stored in the smbpasswd file from a Windows XP machine without the
sign-and-seal patch fails and corrupts the user's password.
Workaround
The administrator must reset the password.
