Saying Y here allows you to 1822 mount their file systems (often called "shares" in this context) and 1823 access them just like any other Unix directory. Currently, this 1824 works only if the Windows machines use TCP/IP as the underlying 1825 transport protocol, and not NetBEUI. For details, read 1826 <file:Documentation/filesystems/smbfs.txt> and the SMB-HOWTO, 1827 available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. 1828 1829 Note: if you just want your box to act as an SMB *server* and make 1830 files and printing services available to Windows clients (which need 1831 to have a TCP/IP stack), you don't need to say Y here; you can use 1832 the program SAMBA (available from <ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/samba/>) 1833 for that. 1834 1835 General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and 1836 Macs is on the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>. 1837 1838 To compile the SMB support as a module, choose M here: the module will 1839 be called smbfs. Most people say N, however. 1840 1841config SMB_NLS_DEFAULT 1842 bool "Use a default NLS" 1843 depends on SMB_FS 1844 help 1845 Enabling this will make smbfs use nls translations by default. You 1846 need to specify the local charset (CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT) in the nls 1847 settings and you need to give the default nls for the SMB server as 1848 CONFIG_SMB_NLS_REMOTE. 1849 1850 The nls settings can be changed at mount time, if your smbmount 1851 supports that, using the codepage and iocharset parameters. 1852 1853 smbmount from samba 2.2.0 or later supports this. 1854 1855config SMB_NLS_REMOTE 1856 string "Default Remote NLS Option" 1857 depends on SMB_NLS_DEFAULT 1858 default "cp437" 1859 help 1860 This setting allows you to specify a default value for which 1861 codepage the server uses.

The local codepage/charset 1863 default to CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT. 1864 1865 The nls settings can be changed at mount time, if your smbmount 1866 supports that, using the codepage and iocharset parameters. 1867 1868 smbmount from samba 2.2.0 or later supports this. 1869 1870config CIFS 1871 tristate "CIFS support (advanced network filesystem for Samba, Window and other CIFS compliant servers)" 1872 depends on INET 1873 select NLS 1874 help 1875 This is the client VFS module for the Common Internet File System 1876 (CIFS) protocol which is the successor to the Server Message Block 1877 (SMB) protocol, the native file sharing mechanism for most early 1878 PC operating systems. The CIFS protocol is fully supported by 1879 file servers such as Windows 2000 (including Windows 2003, NT 4 1880 and Windows XP) as well by Samba (which provides excellent CIFS 1881 server support for Linux and many other operating systems). Limited 1882 support for OS/2 and Windows ME and similar servers is provided as well. 1883 1884 The intent of the cifs module is to provide an advanced 1885 network file system client for mounting to CIFS compliant servers, 1886 including support for dfs (hierarchical name space), secure per-user 1887 session establishment, safe distributed caching (oplock), optional 1888 packet signing, Unicode and other internationalization improvements. 1889 If you need to mount to Samba or Windows from this machine, say Y. 1890 1891config CIFS_STATS 1892 bool "CIFS statistics" 1893 depends on CIFS 1894 help 1895 Enabling this option will cause statistics for each server share 1896 mounted by the cifs client to be displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/Stats 1897 1898config CIFS_STATS2 1899 bool "Extended statistics" 1900 depends on CIFS_STATS 1901 help 1902 Enabling this option will allow more detailed statistics on SMB 1903 request timing to be displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData and also 1904 allow optional logging of slow responses to dmesg (depending on the 1905 value of /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI, see fs/cifs/README for more details). 1906 These additional statistics may have a minor effect on performance 1907 and memory utilization. 1908 1909 Unless you are a developer or are doing network performance analysis 1910 or tuning, say N. 1911 1912config CIFS_WEAK_PW_HASH 1913 bool "Support legacy servers which use weaker LANMAN security" 1914 depends on CIFS 1915 help 1916 Modern CIFS servers including Samba and most Windows versions 1917 (since 1997) support stronger NTLM (and even NTLMv2 and Kerberos) 1918 security mechanisms. These hash the password more securely 1919 than the mechanisms used in the older LANMAN version of the 1920 SMB protocol needed to establish sessions with old SMB servers. 1921 1922 Enabling this option allows the cifs module to mount to older 1923 LANMAN based servers such as OS/2 and Windows 95, but such 1924 mounts may be less secure than mounts using NTLM or more recent 1925 security mechanisms if you are on a public network. Unless you 1926 have a need to access old SMB servers (and are on a private 1927 network) you probably want to say N. Even if this support 1928 is enabled in the kernel build, they will not be used 1929 automatically. At runtime LANMAN mounts are disabled but 1930 can be set to required (or optional) either in 1931 /proc/fs/cifs (see fs/cifs/README for more detail) or via an 1932 option on the mount command. This support is disabled by 1933 default in order to reduce the possibility of a downgrade 1934 attack. 1935 1936 If unsure, say N. 1937 1938config CIFS_XATTR 1939 bool "CIFS extended attributes" 1940 depends on CIFS 1941 help 1942 Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by 1943 the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit 1944 <http://acl.bestbits.at/> for details). CIFS maps the name of 1945 extended attributes beginning with the user namespace prefix 1946 to SMB/CIFS EAs. EAs are stored on Windows servers without the 1947 user namespace prefix, but their names are seen by Linux cifs clients 1948 prefaced by the user namespace prefix. The system namespace 1949 (used by some filesystems to store ACLs) is not supported at 1950 this time. 1951 1952 If unsure, say N. 1953 1954config CIFS_POSIX 1955 bool "CIFS POSIX Extensions" 1956 depends on CIFS_XATTR 1957 help 1958 Enabling this option will cause the cifs client to attempt to 1959 negotiate a newer dialect with servers, such as Samba 3.0.5 1960 or later, that optionally can handle more POSIX like (rather 1961 than Windows like) file behavior. It also enables 1962 support for POSIX ACLs (getfacl and setfacl) to servers 1963 (such as Samba 3.10 and later) which can negotiate 1964 CIFS POSIX ACL support. If unsure, say N. 1965 1966config CIFS_DEBUG2 1967 bool "Enable additional CIFS debugging routines" 1968 depends on CIFS 1969 help 1970 Enabling this option adds a few more debugging routines 1971 to the cifs code which slightly increases the size of 1972 the cifs module and can cause additional logging of debug 1973 messages in some error paths, slowing performance.

These features are 1982 experimental and currently include DFS support and directory 1983 change notification ie fcntl(F_DNOTIFY), as well as the upcall 1984 mechanism which will be used for Kerberos session negotiation 1985 and uid remapping. Some of these features also may depend on 1986 setting a value of 1 to the pseudo-file /proc/fs/cifs/Experimental 1987 (which is disabled by default).
