To edit configuration files from a CIFS client, perform the following steps:
1. Connect from a CIFS client to the filer as Administrator.
After setup finished, the default /etc/passwd and /etc/group files on the root vol-
ume were set up to enable you to share files on the filer as Administrator.
2. Display the contents of the filers C$ share and select a file to edit.
After setup finished, the filer root directory was shared automatically as C$. The
Administrator has read, write, and execute rights to the share.
The C$ share is a hidden share; you can get to it only by specifying the path
manually (for example, as \\filer\C$), rather than accessing it through the Network
Neighborhood icon.
