The miscellaneous options control additional aspects of filer operation.
nfs
Specifies how non-ASCII character information is presented. The value can be one of the following.
On
If the option is On (the default), the filer accepts any packet that is addressed to it even if that packet came in on the wrong interface.
Note: If you are concerned about security, you should turn this Off.
On
Enables or disables path MTU discovery, which is currently used only by TCP. When enabled, the filer can discover and use the largest packet size that the filer can send to another host without fragmenting a packet. This means that the filer doesn't have to limit itself to sending many small packets, which takes more time and resources than sending fewer large packets.
If you cannot establish a connection, set this option to Off.
On
Enables the rsh server on the filer.
On
Enables the SNMP server on the filer.
On
Enables the Telnet server on the filer.
All hosts
Specifies a list of hosts that can log in to the filer using telnet. You can limit telnet access to up to five specified hosts. The hosts should be listed in a comma-separated list. You can disable telnet for all hosts by specifying a hyphen (-).
10
Specifies the default speed of vol copy operations. The speed ranges from 10 (full-speed) to 1 (one-tenth of full-speed).
Off
Setting this option to On forces conversion of all directories to Unicode format when accessed from both NFS and CIFS. By default, conversion to Unicode format occurs as follows:
Off
Setting this option to On forces Unicode format directories to be created by default, both from NFS and CIFS. By default, all directories are created in pre-4.0 format and the first CIFS access converts a directory to Unicode format.
None
Specifies the Windows NT user account to use when a UNIX user accesses a file with Windows NT security (has an ACL), and that UNIX user would not otherwise be mapped. If this option is set blank, such accesses are denied.
None
Specifies the UNIX user account to use when a Windows NT user attempts to log in and that Windows NT user would not otherwise be mapped. If this option is set blank, such accesses are denied.
10240
Sets the maximum size, in kilobytes, of a directory file. A directory file with a size of 10,240 kilobytes can hold about 300,000 files or subdirectories.
On
Enables only the root user to change the owner of a file. When you disable the option, the owner of a file can change its ownership without being root. By default, this option is enabled.
When a non-root user changes the owner of a file, the set-user-id and set-group-id bits are cleared. If a non-root user tries to change the owner of a file but the change would cause the file's recipient to exceed his or her quota, the attempt fails.
20
Specifies the number of minutes a WAFL credential cache entry is valid. The value can range from 1 through 20160.
