Features and Fixes in Recent Releases

The following features and ﬁxes are listed, beginning with the most recent release:

For the HP CIFS Client A.01.09.03

This release contains the following:

• PAM-NTLM 64-bit libraries

This release of the HP CIFS Client provides 64-bit PAM-NTLM libraries.

NOTE The ﬁx for PAM-NTLM 64-bit libraries applies only to HP-UX 11i v2 and

later.

• Sticky bit set on the /var/opt/cifsclient/krb5_tmp directory

The directory’s sticky bit is now set on both installations and updates of the HP CIFS

Client.This prevents users from deleting ﬁles they do not own, in the directory.

• Using mount -F cifs command logs out the current user

A bug has been ﬁxed where the mount -F cifs command logs out the current user if the

user is already logged in to the server being mounted.

• CIFS entries in /etc/fstab do not support the noauto mount option

This ﬁx enables the CIFS Client to properly handle the noauto option for CIFS ﬁle-system

entries in the fstab(4) ﬁle.

• Cannot reconnect to an unshared-then-reshared server directory

This ﬁx enables the CIFS Client to automatically re-establish its connections to a shared

directory that has been unceremoniously unshared and then reshared by the server. This

capability is consistent with Windows clients.

• The cifsclient cores when running the cifsclient stop command

This ﬁx resolves a problem where the CIFS Client daemon cores, while attempting to shut

down, if the mountpoint for a mounted directory has been removed

• The cifslist -U command fails to list user database with over 900 entries
