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.
