Added user user1

The user is added correctly, and the misleading messages only appear with the first occurrence

of adding a new Samba user.

Workaround

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

Issue

The 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 the following error message:

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

No workaround exists.

Issue

Some Windows 2000/2003 Domain trusts might not be recognized by HP CIFS Server, including

some intra/inter-forest trusts.

Workaround

When required to accommodate the intra/inter-forest trusts that HP CIFS Member Servers might

be exposed to in a forest, shortcut trusts can be explicitly created. HP CIFS PDCs support external

trusts, which can be sufficient for Samba and Windows inter-domain trust relationships. For more

information about Windows 2000/2003 trusts, see the MS TechNet documentation at http://

technet.microsoft.com.

Issue

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

machine account and thesambaSamAccount information required for HP CIFS Server machine

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

with $ at the end to the /etc/passwd file for HP CIFS Server to recognize it as a machine account.

If the POSIX machine account does not exist, running the pwck command displays the following

error message:

1 Bad character(s) in logname

Workaround

No workaround exists.

Issue

Use the useradd command to add the POSIX machine account with a $ at the end to the /etc/

passwd file for HP CIFS Server to recognize it as a machine account. The pwck command might

display the following error message:

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