cifslogin failure

My first attempts with CIFS fail at the cifslogin step.

Background:

#swlist -l product |grep -i cifs
CIFS-Client A.01.09 CIFS Client

#uname -a
HP-UX manitoba B.11.11 U 9000/800

The CIFS server, I'm told is a Windows 2003 machine. If we need further information, I'll have to go beg since I'm not allowed access. I have also been told that the hostname of the HP-UX client has been added to the hosts file on the server and that the specified user also exists.

Using the "HP CIFS Client Administrator's Guide", I followed these steps:

# /sbin/init.d/cifsclient start
CIFS Client started; process id: 24175

# mount -F cifs image2:/OCRFF /image2/OCRFF

# mount |grep image2
/image2/OCRFF on localhost:\\IMAGE2\OCRFF soft,noac,retrans=3,time
o=200,acregmin=0,acregmax=0,acdirmin=0,acdirmax=0,proto=udp,NFSv3
on Wed Sep 28 11:06:18 2011

#cifslogin image2 orca
Remote user orca's password:
Logging in User: UNIX: Broken pipe

That's all I get, so I looked at the client-log:

# cat client-log.25246
09-28 11:06:11.504 [0] CIFS Client start; version=A.01.09, pid=25246
09-28 11:06:18.690 [0] nfs: set RX buffer to 131072 bytes
09-28 11:06:18.691 [0] nfs: set TX buffer to 131072 bytes
09-28 11:13:13.439 [0] Establishing connection to server image2: connectTimeout: 5000, requestTimeout: 60000
09-28 11:13:13.444 [1] pslsocket: read error for server image2: [239] Connection refused
09-28 11:18:13.456 [1] pslsocket: send timed out, disconnecting

The first three entries are from initialization and the last three are generated by the login attempt. For some reason, the connection is being rejected.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

this might be related to the version of cifs (client) that you're running:

2.2.2 is the latest 11.11 release: https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=B8724AA

Sounds like a standard answer from support. ;^)

I'll give it a try, though - nothing else seems to help.

I have no idea what the difference may have been but Donna's suggestion was just the ticket.

Thanks, Donna!
