Re: CIFS on OpenVMS IA64.
....
More importantly, it no longer modifies the security applied by OpenVMS to new objects (almost to a fault). Be sure to read the ps009 release notes (you have been warned :O)
....
I assume that the warning relates to the sentence above, regarding OpenVMS Security settings.
(or is there something else??)

"If a file is being overwritten from DOS prompt, it leads to file corruption"
Dave, I'm guessing the reference to reading the release notes is because the way CIFS handles security has been completely rewritten in PS009.
From HP - "You better read them carefully because much has changed regarding security settings".

Re: CIFS on OpenVMS IA64.
I already downloaded the Patch Kit and Release Notes. I read through the release notes, and my comment was due to the fact that nothing else really jumped out at me.
Having said that, I am not sufficiently comfortable with this AD/DC/etc (basically, Windows) stuff, to be able to say that I would immediatly recognise potential problems.

Re: CIFS on OpenVMS IA64.
There's a whole step to do with UID's and GID's and mapping over to SID's, that are all required in the default configuration, but aren't documented all that well.
If someone would like to write a brief document on the whys and wherefores of these mappings, I'm sure that would help us all out. I've discussed it with HP, but I still can't get my head round it.

Re: CIFS on OpenVMS IA64.
I can only agree on that matter.
If you're not familair with the Windows or Unix way of doing things (:D the wrong way ? :D ) it's hard to get things running properly.
What do I need to set up, and how? What are the steps in creating a domain controller, and what has to be done to get a nachine inside the domain? I gave up here, since it simply is too much work.
CIFS would be really useful if there were scripts you coul run to:
* create a domain
* Add systems to a domain
* Add users to a domain
* create a single-sign-on to acces these shares...
Now I need to know Windows system administration as well, and be an Unix/Linux admin as well. Just to get the thing running....

Re: CIFS on OpenVMS IA64.
I have a windows PDC controlling DOM1
I have a second Server (Alpha DS10, OpenVMS 8.3) running Advanced Server and controlling domain DOM2
There is mutual trust between DOM1 and DOM2.
Now along comes the new server
BL860c blade, (IA64, OpenVMS 8.3-1H1) running CIFS 1.1-E1 (including PS009). It needs to join the DOM2 domain as a member server.
I have added this host to the Alpha ADV Server (DOM2) using;
$ ADMIN ADD COMPUTER /ROLE=SERVER
The SMB.CONF file on the new blade server looks like,
[global]
server string = Samba %v running on %h (OpenVMS)
netbios name = %h
security = domain
passdb backend = tdbsam
domain master = no
domain logons = no
guest account = SAMBA$GUEST
log file = /samba$root/var/log_%h.%m
create mode = 0755
host msdf = no
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
read only = no
create mode = 0750
[dave]
comment = Dave's Testing Directory
path = /users/dave
guest ok = yes
read only = no
OK! Here is the question!
I want the CIFS server to join the DOM2 domain, and to do this I intend to execute the
$ NET RPC JOIN
command.
Will the new server automatically join DOM2 because its biosname has only been added to DOM2, or,
Do I need to specify the correct domain by using the
work group = DOM2
parameter in the [global] section of the SMB.CONF file ??
Dave.

Re: CIFS on OpenVMS IA64.
You have to specify:
workgroup = dom2
(note: no space in "workgroup") in the [global] section. The default workgroup name is LANGROUP.

Paul

Re: CIFS on OpenVMS IA64.
The documentation is pretty lacking in this area. In the section on "Adding an HP CIFS Server to a Domain", there is no mention of this requirement. The only hint was that both of the examples (on p45 and p46) included this parameter (workgroup) with a comment "# Domain Name"
Thanks for your help. I'll let you know how it goes.

Re: CIFS on OpenVMS IA64.
[global]
workgroup = UK
server string = Samba %v running on %h (OpenVMS)
security = DOMAIN
username map = /samba$root/lib/username.map
log level = 1
log file = /samba$root/var/log_%h.%m
max log size = 1000000
load printers = No
os level = 65
preferred master = No
local master = No
domain master = No
wins server = 10.110.17.12
admin users = cifsadmin
# create mask = 0755
# include = samba$root:[lib]smb.conf_%h
idmap uid = 10000-10000
idmap gid = 15000-20000
Take special note of the 'max log size', 'security', 'preferred master', 'local master', 'domain master', 'wins servers', 'idmap uid' and 'idmap gid' fields.
The documentation isn't completely clear, but you will _probably_ need all of these fields for a basic configuration.
You don't need to pre-add the member server to you DOM2 domain, as the JOIN will do all that for you :-
$ net rpc join --user=administrator --server=myserver
Password:
Joined domain UKVISTA.
