Hi,
Install cifsclient to mountpoint, mounting windows on a Unix.
I Executed following commands:

@ mkdir /cassi
# cifsmount -U -D -P //medspserv015/TMP /cassi
# bdf /cassi
Filesystem kbytes used avail %used Mounted on
medspserv015:/tmp 4192960 2746224 1446736 65% /cassi

But my users no access /cassi

informix# cd /cassi
su: /cassi: Permission denied.
informix#

How can to resolve ?

Thanks
Daniel D.

Shalom,

The best way to resolve this is to join a domain with net join.

Then user management is available. If none is available, you can set up your HP-UX system CIFS/Server as a domain.

Check the samba.log erorr logs for why your users don't connect. That will enable us to assist in diagnostics.

Daniel,

This is Eric in the HP CIFS Client software lab. Sorry I didn't see this sooner; I've been out on a family emergency.

In the CIFS protocol, any user who wants to access a share must be authenticated. Once "root" has mounted a CIFS share, other users on the HPUX system can be authenticated via "cifslogin". This is the exact equivalent of entering a username and password on a PC when mapping a network drive to a share. See cifslogin(1) for more details.

It is unlikely any CIFS domain considerations are an issue here. In fact, it is very unlikely you need "-D " when you do cifsmount.

More aspects of CIFS authentication, such as auto-login, are described in detail in the Administrator's Guide, available at docs.hp.com.
