For details, read 1791 <file:Documentation/filesystems/smbfs.txt> and the SMB-HOWTO, 1792 available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. 1793 1794 Note: if you just want your box to act as an SMB *server* and make 1795 files and printing services available to Windows clients (which need 1796 to have a TCP/IP stack), you don't need to say Y here; you can use 1797 the program SAMBA (available from <ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/samba/>) 1798 for that. 1799 1800 General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and 1801 Macs is on the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>. 1802 1803 To compile the SMB support as a module, choose M here: the module will 1804 be called smbfs. Most people say N, however. 1805 1806config SMB_NLS_DEFAULT 1807 bool "Use a default NLS" 1808 depends on SMB_FS 1809 help 1810 Enabling this will make smbfs use nls translations by default. You 1811 need to specify the local charset (CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT) in the nls 1812 settings and you need to give the default nls for the SMB server as 1813 CONFIG_SMB_NLS_REMOTE. 1814 1815 The nls settings can be changed at mount time, if your smbmount 1816 supports that, using the codepage and iocharset parameters. 1817 1818 smbmount from samba 2.2.0 or later supports this. 1819 1820config SMB_NLS_REMOTE 1821 string "Default Remote NLS Option" 1822 depends on SMB_NLS_DEFAULT 1823 default "cp437" 1824 help 1825 This setting allows you to specify a default value for which 1826 codepage the server uses. If this field is left blank no 1827 translations will be done by default. The local codepage/charset 1828 default to CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT. 1829 1830 The nls settings can be changed at mount time, if your smbmount 1831 supports that, using the codepage and iocharset parameters. 1832 1833 smbmount from samba 2.2.0 or later supports this. 1834 1835config CIFS 1836 tristate "CIFS support (advanced network filesystem for Samba, Window and other CIFS compliant servers)" 1837 depends on INET 1838 select NLS 1839 help 1840 This is the client VFS module for the Common Internet File System 1841 (CIFS) protocol which is the successor to the Server Message Block 1842 (SMB) protocol, the native file sharing mechanism for most early 1843 PC operating systems. The CIFS protocol is fully supported by 1844 file servers such as Windows 2000 (including Windows 2003, NT 4 1845 and Windows XP) as well by Samba (which provides excellent CIFS 1846 server support for Linux and many other operating systems). Limited 1847 support for OS/2 and Windows ME and similar servers is provided as well. 1848 1849 The intent of the cifs module is to provide an advanced 1850 network file system client for mounting to CIFS compliant servers, 1851 including support for dfs (hierarchical name space), secure per-user 1852 session establishment, safe distributed caching (oplock), optional 1853 packet signing, Unicode and other internationalization improvements. 1854 If you need to mount to Samba or Windows from this machine, say Y. 1855 1856config CIFS_STATS 1857 bool "CIFS statistics" 1858 depends on CIFS 1859 help 1860 Enabling this option will cause statistics for each server share 1861 mounted by the cifs client to be displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/Stats 1862 1863config CIFS_STATS2 1864 bool "Extended statistics" 1865 depends on CIFS_STATS 1866 help 1867 Enabling this option will allow more detailed statistics on SMB 1868 request timing to be displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData and also 1869 allow optional logging of slow responses to dmesg (depending on the 1870 value of /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI, see fs/cifs/README for more details). 1871 These additional statistics may have a minor effect on performance 1872 and memory utilization. 1873 1874 Unless you are a developer or are doing network performance analysis 1875 or tuning, say N. 1876 1877config CIFS_WEAK_PW_HASH 1878 bool "Support legacy servers which use weaker LANMAN security" 1879 depends on CIFS 1880 help 1881 Modern CIFS servers including Samba and most Windows versions 1882 (since 1997) support stronger NTLM (and even NTLMv2 and Kerberos) 1883 security mechanisms. These hash the password more securely 1884 than the mechanisms used in the older LANMAN version of the 1885 SMB protocol needed to establish sessions with old SMB servers. 1886 1887 Enabling this option allows the cifs module to mount to older 1888 LANMAN based servers such as OS/2 and Windows 95, but such 1889 mounts may be less secure than mounts using NTLM or more recent 1890 security mechanisms if you are on a public network. Unless you 1891 have a need to access old SMB servers (and are on a private 1892 network) you probably want to say N. Even if this support 1893 is enabled in the kernel build, they will not be used 1894 automatically. At runtime LANMAN mounts are disabled but 1895 can be set to required (or optional) either in 1896 /proc/fs/cifs (see fs/cifs/README for more detail) or via an 1897 option on the mount command. This support is disabled by 1898 default in order to reduce the possibility of a downgrade 1899 attack. 1900 1901 If unsure, say N. 1902 1903config CIFS_XATTR 1904 bool "CIFS extended attributes" 1905 depends on CIFS 1906 help 1907 Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by 1908 the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit 1909 <http://acl.bestbits.at/> for details). CIFS maps the name of 1910 extended attributes beginning with the user namespace prefix 1911 to SMB/CIFS EAs. EAs are stored on Windows servers without the 1912 user namespace prefix, but their names are seen by Linux cifs clients 1913 prefaced by the user namespace prefix. The system namespace 1914 (used by some filesystems to store ACLs) is not supported at 1915 this time. 1916 1917 If unsure, say N. 1918 1919config CIFS_POSIX 1920 bool "CIFS POSIX Extensions" 1921 depends on CIFS_XATTR 1922 help 1923 Enabling this option will cause the cifs client to attempt to 1924 negotiate a newer dialect with servers, such as Samba 3.0.5 1925 or later, that optionally can handle more POSIX like (rather 1926 than Windows like) file behavior. It also enables 1927 support for POSIX ACLs (getfacl and setfacl) to servers 1928 (such as Samba 3.10 and later) which can negotiate 1929 CIFS POSIX ACL support. If unsure, say N. 1930 1931config CIFS_DEBUG2 1932 bool "Enable additional CIFS debugging routines" 1933 depends on CIFS 1934 help 1935 Enabling this option adds a few more debugging routines 1936 to the cifs code which slightly increases the size of 1937 the cifs module and can cause additional logging of debug 1938 messages in some error paths, slowing performance. This 1939 option can be turned off unless you are debugging 1940 cifs problems. If unsure, say N. 1941 1942config CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL 1943 bool "CIFS Experimental Features (EXPERIMENTAL)" 1944 depends on CIFS && EXPERIMENTAL 1945 help 1946 Enables cifs features under testing. These features are 1947 experimental and currently include DFS support and directory 1948 change notification ie fcntl(F_DNOTIFY), as well as the upcall 1949 mechanism which will be used for Kerberos session negotiation 1950 and uid remapping. Some of these features also may depend on 1951 setting a value of 1 to the pseudo-file /proc/fs/cifs/Experimental 1952 (which is disabled by default). See the file fs/cifs/README 1953 for more details. If unsure, say N. 1954 1955config CIFS_UPCALL 1956 bool "Kerberos/SPNEGO advanced session setup (EXPERIMENTAL)" 1957 depends on CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL 1958 depends on CONNECTOR 1959 help 1960 Enables an upcall mechanism for CIFS which will be used to contact 1961 userspace helper utilities to provide SPNEGO packaged Kerberos 1962 tickets which are needed to mount to certain secure servers 1963 (for which more secure Kerberos authentication is required).

It is to 1972 IPX what NFS is to TCP/IP, if that helps. Saying Y here allows you 1973 to mount NetWare file server volumes and to access them just like 1974 any other Unix directory. For details, please read the file 1975 <file:Documentation/filesystems/ncpfs.txt> in the kernel source and 1976 the IPX-HOWTO from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. 1977 1978 You do not have to say Y here if you want your Linux box to act as a 1979 file *server* for Novell NetWare clients. 1980 1981 General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and 1982 Macs is on the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>. 1983 1984 To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called 1985 ncpfs.

Coda has several advantages over NFS: support for 1997 disconnected operation (e.g. for laptops), read/write server 1998 replication, security model for authentication and encryption, 1999 persistent client caches and write back caching. 2000 2001 If you say Y here, your Linux box will be able to act as a Coda 2002 *client*.
