Configuring a CIFS-Client on HP-UX 11i

[Geetha_1]

I have a Windows Share (Win 2000) that has been exported to a HP-UX server running 11i. I have CIFS-Client A.02.01 running on hp-ux.

How can I let a group of UNIX users share the same Windows directory on the UNIX Server? I would like them to authenticate using their Windows domain userid/password. Can someone give me all the steps involved? What should be the permissions of the mount point at the UNIX end? Thanks.


I have mounted the share using the cifsmount command (as root). Is this OK?

Edit /etc/opt/cifsclient/cifsclient.cfg as necessary.

cifsclient stop
cifsclient start

As root:
mkdir /hpmnt

As root:
cifsmount //name.of.win2k.server/sharename /hpmnt -s -U 2KDoman\\2Klogin

"-s" to make the mounts stay accross reboots.

I mounted it as 2Kdomain\\galagapp (my user id on the 2Kdomain. I did not use the Administrator ID. Does this mean that other UNIX users will not have access to the hpmnt?
Thanks. How do other uses access /hpmnt?
