1    1. Building
2    ===========
3
4    Copy config.in file to the config.local and edit it for your needs. Build
5process requires kernel sources in order to compile KLD module. If you want
6to use encrypted passwords you'll need an src/sys/crypto directory (sys-crypto
7cvsup collection) because encryption process involves DES algorithm.
8
9    Note for FreeBSD-current: it have kernel module sources in the base
10tree and requires options LIBMCHAIN and LIBICONV included in the kernel
11config file. smbfs can be either compiled in the kernel or loaded as module.
12
13    If FreeBSD machine and SMB server uses different character sets you
14may consider install ports/converters/iconv package (version 2.0 required).
15
16    Type 'make' to compile.
17
18    If you're running any previous version of smbfs, unmount all mounted
19shares and unload an old module via 'kldunload smbfs' command.
20
21
22    2. Installing
23    =============
24
25    'make install' command will copy compiled binaries to /usr/local/bin
26directory and KLD module into /modules directory.
27
28    If you're running smbfs for the first time, it is also necessary to
29run 'make makedev' command in order to create /dev/nsmb0 device.
30
31    3. Configuring
32    ==============
33
34    KLD module can be loaded either manually:
35
36    kldload smbfs.ko
37
38 or via loader.conf(5) file:
39
40    smbfs_load="YES"
41
42    However it is not strictly necessary because mount_smbfs(8) command
43will load it automatically.
44
45    Copy ./examples/dot.nsmbrc file into your home directory with ./.nsmbrc
46name and edit it for your needs.
47
48
49    4. Running
50    ==========
51
52    Please read mount_smbfs man page to get overview of command options.
53
54    Here is a quick example:
55
56	mount_smbfs -I hostname //bp@myserver/myshare /mnt
57
58    If something goes wrong, please try to find a problem and, if it is a bug
59 send me detailed description or patch. Before complaining about a bug, please
60 check the same operations with smbclient program included in the Samba package.
