HP CIFS Client A.02.01 Release Notes, April 2005

HP CIFS Client A.02.01
Features and Fixes in Recent Releases
Chapter 114
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.
