Synopsis

cifsclient { command }

cifsclient fuser [-v] mountpoint [...]

cifsclient force_umount mountpoint [...]

Description

This shell script is used to start and stop the HP CIFS Client, and perform other useful tasks. Only users with root capabilities can invoke start, stop, restart, fuser, and force_umount (see also the -a option to klist and kdestroy). Any user can invoke status, klist, kdestroy, and ver. cifsclient without any additional command is equivalent to cifsclient start.

Commands

start

Starts the deamon.

stop

Shut down the daemon.

restart                 Stop, sleep 1 second, start.

  

status

Display information about daemon.

klist [-a]

Display the contents of all of the invoking user’s CIFS Client Kerberos credentials files. This command provides a shortcut that invokes klist(1) on all of the user’s credentials files, automatically appending the -c {filename} option for each file. -a (recognized only for root) lists entries for all users. CIFS Client Kerberos credentials files will be present on the system only if the configuration parameter, rmTmpKerbCredFiles, has been set to no. The files are located in /var/opt/cifsclient/krb5_tmp.

kdestroy [-a]

Destroy all of the invoking user’s CIFS Client Kerberos credentials files, using kdestroy(1). To destroy a single CIFS Kerberos credentials file, use kdestroy(1) directly, specifying the -c {filename} option. CIFS Client Kerberos credentials files are located in /var/opt/cifsclient/krb5_tmp. These files will be present on the system only if the configuration parameter, rmTmpKerbCredFiles, has been set to no. -a (regnized only for root) destroys all files for all users.

ver [-vx]

Report version information. The following modifiers are also recognized:

-v     Verbose: display what(1) strings for binaries, scripts and configuration files.

-x     Extra: display versions of component source files. This option is useful only to HP support personnel.

fuser [-v] mountpoint [...]

Run fuser -fu (see fuser(1M)) against the given CIFS filesystem mountpoint and each of its subdirectories. This is useful for determining which users are accessing the mount, in the event that unmounting fails with a “Device busy” message. You must be logged into the mounted CIFS fileserver for this command to be effective. -v produces verbose output (all subdirectories are shown), otherwise, only directories with active user processes are shown. NOTE: The execution time for this command is proportional to the number of entries in the mounted filesystems.

force_umount mountpoint [...]

Forcibly unmount given mountpoints; this is an emergency procedure to be used only in case of failure of the standard umount commands:

umount mountpoint

or

cifsumount mountpoint

Cannot be used unless the CIFS Client is down.

Files

/etc/opt/cifsclient/cifsclient.cfg

This file contains run-time configuration options for the HP CIFS Client. For detailed information see Chapter 7.

/var/opt/cifsclient/krb5_tmp/krb5cc_<server>_<uid>

Temporary CIFS Client Kerberos credentials file. <server> is the name of the CIFS server to which the user has been authenticated, <uid> is the decimal UID of the user.
