HP CIFS Server 3.0g Release Notes version A.02.03.01

Workaround
Use the "-m" option with useradd when adding a POSIX machine account. The home directory
will be created for the new account if it does not exist.
Problem
The delete operation on a large number of files from a directory takes a long time to complete.
Workaround
One workaround is to close the Windows Explorer after the delete process is started. Beginning
with A.02.03.01, another workaround is to set the "change notify timeout" smb.conf
parameter to zero. When set to zero, change notification messages will not be sent and the long
delays will not occur. Clients will then need to initiate updates (pressing F5) to view changes
that may have occurred on the file share. Beginning with A.02.03.01, the "change notify
timeout" parameter moves from a global to share level parameter.
Problem
HP CIFS daemon control scripts for starting and stopping CIFS daemons could act upon other
daemons with "smbd", "nmbd", or "winbindd" in their names. For example, the Staffware daemon
"wissmbd" will be terminated when the CIFS stopsmb command is executed.
Workaround
If you are running Staffware or are otherwise concerned your system may have daemons subject
to this problem, you can check by using the grep smbd, grep nmbd, and grep winbindd
commands. If any other daemons are shown, you need to use the kill command on the CIFS
daemons to stop them rather than using the CIFS commands, stopsmb, stopnmb or
stopwinbind. This problem will be fixed in the next release of HP CIFS Server.
