HP CIFS Client A.01.09.01 Release Notes, January 2004

HP CIFS Client A.01.09.01
Features and Fixes in Recent Releases
Chapter 1 17
NOTE If you have not customized your configuration file in any way, you can
simply copy cifsclient.cfg.default over your existing cifsclient.cfg.
Use the following instructions to change to the new configuration
parameters:
1. Change the value of runAsUser to runAsUser = “root”. runAsUser
is in the global settings near the beginning of the file. Changing this
value to = ”root” allows the HP CIFS client to create a core file in
case of an unexpected abort.
2. Change the value of requestTimeout to 60 seconds (the value is
specified in milliseconds, so requestTimeout = 60000).
requestTimeout is in the “defaultServer = {...}” section at
approximately line 208.
3. Add the following nfsAttributeCaching entry in the
“defaultServer” section: nfsAttributeCaching = no. Adding
this value will have no effect if you are not upgrading to the current
version of the HP CIFS client. nfsAttributeCaching can = yes or
no.
