HP-UX CSE(c) Official Study Guide and Desk Reference

Why does the CIFS Server software not require a reboot when it is installed, but the CIFS Client software does?

I am running an HP-UX machine as a CIFS Client. I have an entry in my /etc/fstab file to mount a filesystem from my Windows 2000 Server (hostname=WINSRV1):

# cat /etc/fstab ... WINSRV1:/oradata1 /oradata1 cifs defaults 0 0

I can see a valid entry in my /etc/mnttab file and I have all the necessary daemons running, but when I issue a bdf command, I get the following error:

# bdf Filesystem kbytes used avail %used Mounted on ... NFS access failed for server WINSRV1: RPC: Remote system error NFS fsstat failed for server WINSRV1: RPC: Remote system error bdf: /oradata1: I/O error #

Why am I getting this IO error?

Why is using the cifsmount “P command not a good idea in terms of security?

Why is it important to ensure site-wide that usernames are unique when using NTLM authentication?

What is a CIFS " user map"? How is the name of the "user map" referenced? Is a CIFS "user map" used on a CIFS Server or a CIFS Client, and what is its purpose?
