15.0 Managing CIFS Services

The CIFS-NRM plug-in to Novell Remote Manager allows you to manage connections and open files on NSS volumes for a CIFS server. When you install Novell CIFS, the plug-in adds the Manage CIFS Services section in NRM. With the file monitoring options, you can view details of open files and close open files by connection or by file. The tasks can be performed on NSS volumes where you have configured CIFS shares by using Novell CIFS.

For information about using and managing CIFS services on Novell Open Enterprise Server (OES) 11 SP3, see the OES 11 SP3: Novell CIFS for Linux Administration Guide.
