Command ReferenceA-63
If you do not plan to use share-level ACLs to control access to UNIX
security style files (e.g. in a UNIX qtree), you might wish to change
this setting to on.
cifs.save_case
By default, the filer preserves the case of CIFS names, even though
a case insensitive hash and search is done. Setting this option to
OFF forces names to be saved in lower case, avoiding some of the
case conversion problems with non-ASCII characters and prevent-
ing PC applications from changing the names of files that were
created with lower case names from UNIX.
cifs.scopeid NetBIOS scope IDs allow the system administrator to create small
workgroups out of a network by partitioning the NetBIOS name
space; only clients with the same NetBIOS scope ID as the filer will
be able to use the filer as a CIFS server. Normally, the scope ID is a
null string, but if the filer is to run in a NetBIOS scope other than
the default one, its scope ID must be set to the scope ID of that
scope. The scope ID can be changed only when CIFS is not
running.
cifs.search_domains
Specifies a list of domains that trust each other to search for a
mapped account. The argument for the option is a comma-
separated list that is searched in order. If no list is supplied, all
domains are searched. You use this option to control searches if you
used an asterisk for a domain name in the usermap.cfg file.
cifs.show_snapshot
By default this option is FALSE. The snapshot directory ~snapshot
is no longer shown at the root of a share. This is a change in behav-
ior from previous versions. Setting this to TRUE will restore the old
behavior. On Windows NT 4 or Windows 95 clients, the user can
access snapshots by entering \\filer\share\.snapshot (or ~snapshot
or ~snapsht) in the Start->Run menu. Snapshots can also be
accessed lower in the share by providing a path to a lower directory.
Snapshots can be accessed through DOS on any system by chang-
ing to the ~snapsht directory.
NOTE: When this option is TRUE it can confuse programs like Fast-
Find that dont know about snapshots.
cifs.symlinks.cycleguard
The cifs.symlinks.cycleguard option (on by default), eliminates the
possibility of traversing directories cyclically during the process of
following symbolic links. With this option set to on, if the target of
the symlink resolves to a directory that is directly above the sym-
links parent directory, it is disallowed.
With this option set to off, many standard Windows apps (such as
Find in Win95 / NT4.0) will not operate correctly when a symlink
points to a parent directory. This is because they do not understand
options
