HP 800 CIFS/9000 Client Release Note, June 2002 - Page 6

CIFS/9000 Client A.01.08 Features and Fixes in Recent Releases Features and Fixes in Recent Releases The following features and fixes are listed, beginning with the most recent. • PAM-NTLM can fail to handle Unix password expiration A fix has been implemented for a problem wherein a user with an expired Unix password can login to the host system without being forced to change their expired password. This occurs only if the recommended "stacked" configuration of libpam_ntlm.1 and libpam_unix.1 is used and the user is not authenticated by the NTLM server. With this fix, PAM-UNIX forces the user to change their expired Unix password, as expected. • Disconnected user sessions cannot reconnect This enhancement enables user connections that have been terminated by the server to be automatically re-established when the user attempts to access the server. • Logfile truncation at max size does not work This fix enforces the maximum logfile size of 50 Mbytes. If the logfile reaches this size, it is saved with .prev appended to its name (overwriting any other previously saved copy). The logfile is then restarted from 0 bytes. • Incorrect timestamp after DST switch This fix improves the synchronization of file timestamps between CIFS/9000 clients and Windows servers, when the time changes between standard and daylight savings time. • NetBIOS scope broken if scope has embedded period (".") character(s) This fixes a bug in the parsing of NetBIOS scope. Scope is an old feature of the CIFS protocol and its use is discouraged. • Some Japanese multibyte characters cannot be used The Japanese-language character-map files for ShiftJIS encoding have been modified to include symbols for integers-in-circles in the range [1 - 20], and various mathematical, Katakana and other symbols. 74 character mappings have been added. • Latest revision of CIFS Unix Extensions, v2.1 6 Chapter 1
