So let's suppose my filer dies, double disk failure perhaps. How do I get back all these "automatically persistent" configuration options? Will things save state with something like the undocumented "cifsconfig.cfg" file? Yuch.
One way to look at it is: it should be possible to backup and restore your filer configuration using a line printer and a scanner.
Please don't go and update my rc file. The cifsconfig.cfg file is bad enough. When I don't want to know what's going on under the hood (and be forced to re-add a bunch of configs by hand as a result of my ignorance), I'll transfer over to the NT support group...
The way cifsconfig.txt works -- it must be designed for Windows NT admins by Windows NT developers. I wish there was a "behave normal" for Unix admins mode for cifsconfig.txt.
I produced some interesting phrases the first time my manual changes to cifsconfig.txt were lost after a reboot.
P.S. I bit my tongue this morning about NTP, but I might as well say something now... About three years ago I asked about possible NTP support and got nothing. Six months ago someone on this list practically begged for at least SNTP support. Well...?
I think NTP must be the most common request on toasters.
