Chapter 1 CIFS/9000 Client A.01.08 Features and Fixes in Recent Releases In another case, swinstall, when used to install any software, will stop or exit, forcing the user to set mount_all_filesystems=false. The patch is available at either of these web sites: Americas and Asia-Pacific: http://us-support.external.hp.com/ Europe: http://europe-support.external.hp.com/ Troubleshooting Information for PAM-NTLM • If you are having difficulty accessing the password server configured in smb.conf, PAM-NTLM can utilize an lmhosts file on the local system to look up its address. To utilize this functionality, create the file, /etc/opt/samba/lmhosts, containing entries, one per line, in the following format where netbios_name is the password server used by PAM-NTLM. ip_address netbios_name • If you are going to remove the PAM-NTLM fileset (or the entire CIFS/9000 Client) from your system, ensure that all references to the libpam_ntlm.1 library have been removed from /etc/pam.conf. Your system can become inaccessible if PAM-NTLM is configured in /etc/pam.conf but the PAM-NTLM libraries are removed from the system. • Use caution when editing /etc/pam.conf. You should have a good understanding of the PAM framework before modifying this file. A misconfigured /etc/pam.conf can make the system inaccessible or cause a serious security breach, such as allowing root access to anyone, without a password. See the reference to pam.conf in section 4 of the HP-UX manpages and in the PAM-NTLM Configuration section in Installing and Administering the CIFS/9000 Client. Recommended Configuration Values HP recommends changing the value of the following three configuration parameters to their new default values: • runAsUser • requestTimeout • nfsAttributeCaching (you will need to add this one) 9
