SUMMARY OF KNOWN ISSUES: ----------------------------------------- NONE KNOWN ISSUES : -------------- NONE FIXED INCIDENTS: ---------------- PATCH ID:7.0.1.000 * INCIDENT NO:3849312 TRACKING ID:3765921 SYMPTOM: On RHEL7 onwards, PAM related error messages for Samba daemon may be observed in system logs after adding CIFS share. The CIFS share may not be accessible from windows client. DESCRIPTION: There is a file /etc/pam.d/samba which is not available by default on RHEL 7 onwards. The "obey pam restrictions" attribute from Sambaconfiguration file (smb.conf) is also set to "yes", where default is "no". This parameter controls whether Samba should obey PAM's account and session management directives. The default behavior is to use PAM for clear text authentication only and to ignore any account or session management. Samba always ignores PAM for authentication in the case of "encrypt passwords = yes". If we set "obey pam restrictions" attribute to "no", then there isnt any PAM related error messages, and the CIFS share is also accessible from windows clients. RESOLUTION: The code is modified to set obey pam restrictions as no in/opt/VRTSvcs/bin/ApplicationNone/smb.conf before doing cfsshare config and adding share. * INCIDENT NO:3852545 TRACKING ID:3807367 SYMPTOM: The man pages included in the VRTScavf package identify the product version incorrectly as 6.2, instead of the correct 7.0. DESCRIPTION: Man pages included in the package identify the product version they document. For the man pages included in the 7.0 release, this version was incorrectly mentioned as 6.2. The online versions of the man pages available from SORT have previously been updated to mention the correct version. RESOLUTION: The versions in the man pages have been corrected and updated man pages have been included in the package. INCIDENTS FROM OLD PATCHES: --------------------------- NONE
