HP Rp7410 CIFS/9000 Client Release Note, March 2002 - Page 5

CIFS/9000 Client A.01.07 What's New in Version A.01.07? It is highly recommended that customers upgrade to version A.01.07 of the CIFS/9000 Client if they will be connecting to servers that support the v2.1 specification. These servers include CIFS/9000 Servers, version A.01.08 and Samba Servers, version 2.2.3. The implementation of the v2.1 specification, in version A.01.07 of the CIFS/9000 Client, is backwards compatible with previous implementations of the specification in versions A.01.07, and earlier, of the CIFS/9000 Server. • ASCII decode of hexadecimal NetBIOS traces The CIFS Client "netbiosTrace" log level option now also displays the ASCII equivalent of the default hexadecimal byte-stream. Users are reminded that log levels should be left at their default settings unless they are required for troubleshooting since increased log levels impede performance. Other New Information A new version of the HP-UX mountall(1M) command has been issued as patch PHCO_24777. This patch fixes two problems that can occur in any release of the CIFS Client. The problems arise when there are CIFS entries in /etc/fstab and involve extraneous error or warning messages. In one case, if the CIFS Client is configured to start at boot, a misleading error is placed in /etc/rc.log. The message will resemble the following: Mount file systems Output from "/sbin/rc1.d/S100localmount start mountall: cannot mount server:/share mountall: diagnostics from mount ipcclient: error connecting to daemon: [239] Connection refused ipcclient: CIFS Client is down. 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/ Chapter 1 5
