HP ProLiant Storage Server Release Notes (January 2006)

Storage Server release notes 33
Issue: Mapping service fails to start
Description If all network ports are not attached to an active link or contain a port terminator,
the mapping service fails to start on boot. In conjunction with this failure, an error
event ID 7034 is logged in the system log with the following details:
• Source: Service Control Manager
• Category: none
• EventID: 7034
• File name: netevent.dll
• Description: The user name mapping service terminated unexpectedly.
Workaround The mapping service can be restarted after all network ports become active
through a link or port terminator.
Issue: Enabling setuid behavior for Interix programs
Description According to the POSIX standard, a file has permissions that include bits to set a
UID (setuid) and to set a GID (setgid) when the file is executed. If either or both
bits are set on a file and a process executes that file, the process gains the UID or
GID of the file. When used carefully, this mechanism allows a non-privileged user
to execute programs that run with the higher privileges of the file owner or group.
When used incorrectly, however, this can present security risks by allowing
non-privileged users to perform actions that should only be performed by an
administrator. For this reason, Windows Services for UNIX setup does not enable
support for this mechanism by default.
Workaround Only enable support for setuid behavior if you are sure you will be running
programs that require support for this behavior. If support for setuid behavior is
not enabled when installing Windows Services for UNIX, it can be enabled later.
For more information, search for “enable setuid mode bits” in Windows Services
for UNIX Help.
Issue: Japanese characters are displayed in the Mapped Users box
Description When viewing the mapping in the Mapped Users box from the SFU MMC,
Japanese ¥ characters are substituted for \ (backslash) characters.
Workaround The ¥ characters do not inhibit the functioning of the map or the interface.
