On HP-UX, samba was ported from Linux and called CIFS/9000.

May this help you,

TO check the CIFS Software is installed or not.
#swlist -l product| grep -i cifs

Edit the file and make the value 1 to stsrt the smb services at every boot.
#vi /etc/rc.config.d/samba

RUN_SAMBA=1

Configure /etc/opt/samba/smb.conf

#vi /etc/opt/samba/smb.conf {Make the changes as per your requirment}
...

[global]

# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name, eg: REDHAT4

workgroup = UKDOM1

# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field

server string = CIFS9000 Samba Server

# this tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine

# that connects

log file = /var/opt/samba/log.%m

log level = 1

# Security mode. Most people will want user level security. See

# security_level.txt for details.

security = user
#=========================== Share Definitions =========================

[homes]

comment = Home Directories

browseable = no

# This one is useful for people to share files

[tmp]

comment = Temporary file space

path = /tmp

read only = no

[ora1]

comment = Shared Database Directory

path = /ora1

writable = yes

browseable = yes

Verify your smb.conf configuration with the testparm utility

#/opt/samba/bin/testparm

Load smb config files from /etc/opt/samba/smb.conf

Processing section "[homes]"

Processing section "[tmp]"

Processing section "[ora1]"

Loaded services file OK.

Processing comments in /etc/opt/samba/smb.conf

The SMB/CIFS password file does not exist by default. We need to create it and ensure that the permissions are correct. Again

#ll /var/opt/samba/private

#touch /var/opt/samba/private/smbpasswd

#chmod 500 /var/opt/samba/private
#chmod 600 /var/opt/samba/private/smbpasswd
#ll /var/opt/samba/private

#/opt/samba/bin/smbpasswd -a

Start the CIFS daemon

#/sbin/init.d/samba start

Verify the configuration with the smbclient utility

#/opt/samba/bin/smbclient -L localhost -U%

Dear Mr.Sushil Srivastava,

Nice job you should get 10 points for this.

Shalom,

Note the CIFS client package from HP requires a reboot, the server package does not.

I recommend they both be installed.

Hi,

CIFS client configuration in a glance.

Client configuration for windows:

Install client bundle

1./etc/opt/cifsclient/cifsclient.cfg

Domain="workgroup"

2./etc/rc.config.d/cifsclient
RUN_CLIENT=1

3./sbin/init.d/cifsclient start

4.create mount directory

5.edit /etc/fstab

server:/home /home cifs defaults 0 0

6. Mount -aF cifs

7./opt/cifsclient/bin/cifslogin server username

8.cifslist -A --> list the cifs shares.

9./opt/cifsclient/bin/cifslogout server

10.umount -aF cifs
