This is the client VFS module for the Common Internet File System
|
||
|
|
(CIFS) protocol which is the successor to the Server Message Block
|
||
|
|
(SMB) protocol, the native file sharing mechanism for most early
|
||
|
|
PC operating systems. The CIFS protocol is fully supported by
|
||
|
|
file servers such as Windows 2000 (including Windows 2003, NT 4
|
||
|
|
and Windows XP) as well by Samba (which provides excellent CIFS
|
||
|
|
server support for Linux and many other operating systems). Limited
|
||
|
|
support for OS/2 and Windows ME and similar servers is provided as
|
||
|
|
well.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The cifs module provides an advanced network file system
|
||
|
|
client for mounting to CIFS compliant servers. It includes
|
||
|
|
support for DFS (hierarchical name space), secure per-user
|
||
|
|
session establishment via Kerberos or NTLM or NTLMv2,
|
||
|
|
safe distributed caching (oplock), optional packet
|
||
|
|
signing, Unicode and other internationalization improvements.
|
||
|
|
If you need to mount to Samba or Windows from this machine, say Y.

help
|

Modern CIFS servers including Samba and most Windows versions
|
||
|
|
(since 1997) support stronger NTLM (and even NTLMv2 and Kerberos)
|
||
|
|
security mechanisms. These hash the password more securely
|
||
|
|
than the mechanisms used in the older LANMAN version of the
|
||
|
|
SMB protocol but LANMAN based authentication is needed to
|
||
|
|
establish sessions with some old SMB servers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Enabling this option allows the cifs module to mount to older
|
||
|
|
LANMAN based servers such as OS/2 and Windows 95, but such
|
||
|
|
mounts may be less secure than mounts using NTLM or more recent
|
||
|
|
security mechanisms if you are on a public network. Unless you
|
||
|
|
have a need to access old SMB servers (and are on a private
|
||
|
|
network) you probably want to say N. Even if this support
|
||
|
|
is enabled in the kernel build, LANMAN authentication will not be
|
||
|
|
used automatically. At runtime LANMAN mounts are disabled but
|
||
|
|
can be set to required (or optional) either in
|
||
|
|
/proc/fs/cifs (see fs/cifs/README for more detail) or via an
|
||
|
|
option on the mount command. This support is disabled by
|
||
|
|
default in order to reduce the possibility of a downgrade
|
||
|
|
attack.

If unsure, say N.

Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by

the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit

<http://acl.bestbits.at/> for details). CIFS maps the name of

|
extended attributes beginning with the user namespace prefix
|
||
|
|
to SMB/CIFS EAs. EAs are stored on Windows servers without the
|
||
|
|
user namespace prefix, but their names are seen by Linux cifs clients
|
||
|

prefaced by the user namespace prefix. The system namespace

(used by some filesystems to store ACLs) is not supported at
