HP CIFS Server 3.0g Release Notes version A.02.03.01

Known Problems and Workarounds
The following is a list of known problems and, where possible, the appropriate workarounds
for the HP CIFS Server A.02.03
Problem
Share mode security does not work with POSIX ACLs.
Workaound
Microsoft servers do not support share mode security and Windows NT ACLs. No workaround
currently exists.
Problem
Matching single characters in file names from the DOS prompt on a shared CIFS Server drive
using wild card operations and multi-byte character sets does not always work (for example,
using Japanese Shift-JIS and ???? matches two multi-byte characters instead of four multi-byte
characters).
Workaround
Use ?? for each single character. For example, if you are trying to match 4 characters, you must
use 8 wild cards, ????????.
Problem
After changing the domain of HP CIFS Server, the user takes a long time to logon.
Workaround
Delete /var/opt/samba/private/secrets.tdb and the .tdb files in
/var/opt/samba/locks to avoid mixed run-time internal databases before changing the
domain of HP CIFS Server.
Problem
Creation of symlinks using UNIX extension fails if a full path is used to specify the symlink.
Workaround
Change to the directory where the symlink will reside and create the link using relative path.
Problem
Once the wins server option is set in the smb.conf file, it cannot be cleared using SWAT
utility
Workaround
Edit the smb.conf file manually to remove the wins server entry.
Problem
A non-root user running smbstatus may 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"
