HP Rp5405 CIFS/9000 Client Release Note, March 2002 - Page 6

CIFS/9000 Client A.01.07 Features and Fixes in Recent Releases Features and Fixes in Recent Releases • A change has been implemented in the caching of file attributes that improves synchronization of directory listings on the client with actual file attributes on the server. • The section on configuring the PAM-NTLM module in the Installing and Administering the CIFS/9000 Client manual contains new and updated information regarding the use of password servers and WINS servers. HP suggests incorporating the wins server parameter into your existing smb.conf file as shown in the new version of smb.conf.default. These files are located in /etc/opt/cifsclient/pam. • Default value increased for SMB time-outs The default configured value for requestTimeout has been increased from 20 seconds to 60 seconds. For slow networks, or environments with slow servers or links, this helps prevent the CIFS/9000 client from entering an unstable state that can result when a connection is dropped due to an unanswered SMB request. • Duplicate NFS requests filtered by the CIFS/9000 Client This improves reliability of the NFS interface to the CIFS/9000 client. • NFS attribute-caching is now configurable This enhancement allows you to turn on NFS attribute caching, which can improve performance of certain operations, such as creating tar(1) archives of large numbers of files residing on mounted CIFS file systems. The default setting is nfsAttributeCaching = no, which maintains the same behavior as in previous releases. • Korean Language support A new character mapping file, unimap-eucKR.cfg, allows for support of localized Korean HP-UX systems with the CIFS/9000 client. See the Installing and Administering the CIFS/9000 Client manual for an explanation of how to configure character-map files. 6 Chapter 1
