HP StorageWorks X5000, Release Note

Page: 27 / 39

NFS clients and Services for NFS
Description
Comments preceded by a “#” in the Password and Group fi le are not recognized
when specifying the Password and Group fi le for setting up the User and Group
mappings of the NFS protocol. If a Password or Group fi le is used with a comment,
the following error is displayed in the WebUI:
The user list cannot be retrieved. Make sure the password
file is not corrupted and then try again.
Workaround HP engineers are working to resolve this issue. In the meantime, do not use
comments preceded by a # symbol in the Password and Group fi le.
Issue:
Mapping service fails to start
Description
If all network ports are not attached to an active link or contain a port terminator,
the mapping service fails to start on boot. In conjunction with this failure, an error
event ID 7034 is logged in the system log with the following details:
• Source: Service Control Manager
• Category: none
• EventID: 7034
• File name: netevent.dll
• Description: The user name mapping service terminated unexpectedly.
Workaround The mapping service can be restarted after all network ports become active
through a link or port terminator.
Issue:
Enabling setuid behavior for Interix programs
Description
According to the POSIX standard, a fi le has permissions that include bits to set a
UID (setuid) and to set a GID (setgid) when the fi le is executed. If either or both
bits are set on a fi le and a process executes that fi le, the process gains the UID
or GID of the fi le. When used carefully, this mechanism allows a non-privileged
user to execute programs that run with the higher privileges of the fi le owner or
group. When used incorrectly, however, this can present security risks by allowing
non-privileged users to perform actions that should only be performed by an
administrator. For this reason, Windows Services for UNIX setup does not enable
support for this mechanism by default.
Workaround Only enable support for setuid behavior if you are sure you will be running
programs that require support for this behavior. If support for setuid behavior is
not enabled when installing Windows Services for UNIX, it can be enabled later.
For more information, search for “enable setuid mode bits” in Windows Services
for UNIX Help.
Issue:
Japanese characters are displayed in the Mapped Users box
Description
When viewing the mapping in the Mapped Users box from the SFU MMC,
Japanese ¥ characters are substituted for \ (backslash) characters.
Workaround The ¥ characters do not inhibit the functioning of the map or the interface.
