Features and Fixes in Recent Releases
The following features and fixes are listed, beginning with the most
recent release:
For the HP CIFS Client A.01.09
• Kerberos Authentication
This release provides Kerberos authentication within the cifslogin
and cifsmount commands, and provides a method for automatic
CIFS logins by integrating CIFS authentication with programs that
utilize the system Kerberos cache, such as PAM KERBEROS and
kinit(1).
• ONC AutoFS 2.3 Support
With this release , ONC AutoFS version 2.3 can automatically
perform direct and indirect mounts of CIFS filesystems.
NOTE ONC AutoFS 2.3 Support applies only to HP-UX 11i version 2.
• Reduce number of packets required to do long directory listing
This enhancement improves performance of the “ls -l” command
on mounted CIFS filesystems.
• Fix for duplicate /etc/mnttab entries
This fix eliminates a problem where, in certain instances, duplicate
entries for CIFS-mounted filesystems can be created in /etc/mnttab.
Duplicate entries no longer occur in the output of mount(1M).
• Eliminate NFS RPC timeout warnings on slow SMB responses
This fix eliminates NFS warnings that can occur if a CIFS network
request (an SMB) is not completed before the NFS request timeout
occurs.
