HP CIFS Server 3.0g Release Notes version A.02.03.01

Fixes in HP CIFS Server A.02.03.01
HP CIFS Server A.02.03.01 provides the following defect fixes:
• The id command does not show multiple groups that a user belongs to
JAGag23338
In HP CIFS Server A.02.03 or earlier versions, the id command only shows a single group
for a winbind user even if the user belongs to many groups of Windows Domain Controller.
The HP-UX command, grget, does not display any group members if a group contains
thousands of user members.
With these fixes, the id command displays at most 20 groups even if a winbind user belongs
to more than 20 groups. HP-UX has a system limit that a user can belong to at most 20
groups. The grget command can display group members. The number of group members
for a specific group displayed by grget on an HP-UX system is limited by internal buffer
sizes. This limitation is mainly impacted by the size of each member name and total number
of group members.
• The smbnull user is created with bad home directory and default shell
JAGag18108
The fix is to change the home directory of the "smbnull" user to
/var/opt/samba/nologin and the default shell to /bin/false. If the nologin directory
does not exist, it will be created. With this fix, the "pwck" command no longer complains
about the smbnull user.
• The start and stop scripts are updated to support alternate configurations
JAGag20176
The startsmb, stopsmb, startwinbind, stopwinbind scripts accept the -c option to
specify the configuration file, so that alternative configurations can be used and only the
processes associated with the specified configurations are acted upon. This will help to
manage multiple virtual servers as with an active-active Serviceguard configuration.
• wbinfo may fail for a time after winbind starts with very large users configuration
JAGag15084
The changes are made to remove double saving operation for each entry in the winbind
cache. This fix resolves a problem where the wbinfo command may fail for a period of time
after winbind is started while winbind cache is being created.
• Winbindd could abort when trusted domain DCs are not responding
JAGag18199
This fix resolves a problem where the wbinfo -u or -g command could cause winbindd
to abort when trusted domain DCs are not responding. The log.winbindd file shows a
signal 10. This only happened on 11.11 systems.
• Winbindd queries trusted domains when the allow trusted domains option is disabled
JAGag20487
This fix resolves a problem where the winbind daemon, winbindd, queries non-local
trusted domains for users and groups and fails even if the smb.conf parameter, allow
trusted domains, is disabled.
• Assign “winbind cache time” to an appropriate default value
JAGag26203
The sample setting in the smb.conf.default file and default value for the winbind
cache time parameter is set to an appropriate value, 300 (in seconds).
