Known issues and workarounds Issue QXCR1001322105 The mmap option use mmap = yes in smb.conf file, causes A.03.02.xx HP CIFS server on 11.31 PA-RISC machines, to be aborted upon starting. Workaround Set use mmap = no in smb.conf file, but this may reduce performance. Issue If you run the command smbstatus, the following error is displyed: # smbstatus -d0 sessionid.tdb not initialised This is normal behaviour if an SMB client has never connected to your server. connections.
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 When you upgrade from A.03.01a to A.03.01.01 or later versions, the swinstall command fails with the following message: A later revision (one with a higher revision number)of fileset | | | | | | | | fileset "CIFS-Development.
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.
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.
