Here's how the HP CIFS Client and Server handle user-level security.
Admittedly rather quirky, but it works; you just have to follow the rules.
i. In the Samba configuration file, under the entry for the share, you give
a list of one or more usernames. These are the users whose passwords are
used by Samba to authenticate client requests to access the share (this will
make sense later). For example:
[global]
security = share
encrypt passwords = yes
[share]
path = /export/share
username = userA userB
ii. On the cifsclient, root mounts the share:
cifsmount server:/share /mountpoint
Root may also provide a username and password (-U and -P), subject to constraints
described below.
iii. On the cifsclient, whoever wants to access the share must be autheticated
via cifslogin:
cifslogin [-U username] //server/share
Share Password for \\SERVER\SHARE:****
Note that if you use this syntax:
cifslogin [-U username] server
you will first get this prompt:
Login to Share:
which is asking for the share name; then you will get the "Share Password..." prompt.

After switching from smbfs mount, the dmask/dir_mode and fmask/file_mode no longer have an effect on the newly created files. It seems to use the system umask instead.

libcurl-share(3) libcurl share interface libcurl-share(3)
NAME
libcurl-share - how to use the share interface
DESCRIPTION
This is an overview on how to use the libcurl share interface in your C programs. There are specific man pages for each function mentioned
in here.
All functions in the share interface are prefixed with curl_share.
OBJECTIVES
The share interface was added to enable sharing of data between curl "handles".
ONE SET OF DATA - MANY TRANSFERS
You can have multiple easy handles share data between them. Have them update and use the same cookie database or DNS cache! This way, each
single transfer will take advantage from data updates made by the other transfer(s).
SHARE OBJECT
You create a shared object with curl_share_init(3). It returns a handle for a newly created one.
You tell the shared object what data you want it to share by using curl_share_setopt(3). Currently you can only share DNS and/or COOKIE
data.
Since you can use this share from multiple threads, and libcurl has no internal thread synchronization, you must provide mutex callbacks if
you're using this multi-threaded. You set lock and unlock functions with curl_share_setopt(3) too.
Then, you make an easy handle to use this share, you set the CURLOPT_SHARE option with curl_easy_setopt(3), and pass in share handle. You
can make any number of easy handles share the same share handle.
To make an easy handle stop using that particular share, you set CURLOPT_SHARE to NULL for that easy handle. To make a handle stop sharing
a particular data, you can CURLSHOPT_UNSHARE it.
When you're done using the share, make sure that no easy handle is still using it, and call curl_share_cleanup(3) on the handle.
