- help
- 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.

- request timing to be displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData and also
- allow optional logging of slow responses to dmesg (depending on the
- value of /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI, see fs/cifs/README for more details).

- and memory utilization.

- Unless you are a developer or are doing network performance analysis

-config CIFS_WEAK_PW_HASH
- bool "Support legacy servers which use weaker LANMAN security"
- depends on CIFS
- 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.

- help
- 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
- this time.
-
- If unsure, say N.
-
-config CIFS_POSIX
- bool "CIFS POSIX Extensions"
- depends on CIFS_XATTR
- help
- Enabling this option will cause the cifs client to attempt to
- negotiate a newer dialect with servers, such as Samba 3.0.5
- or later, that optionally can handle more POSIX like (rather
- than Windows like) file behavior. It also enables
- support for POSIX ACLs (getfacl and setfacl) to servers
- (such as Samba 3.10 and later) which can negotiate
- CIFS POSIX ACL support. If unsure, say N.
-
-config CIFS_DEBUG2
- bool "Enable additional CIFS debugging routines"

- help
- Enabling this option adds a few more debugging routines

- cifs problems. If unsure, say N.

- mechanism which will be used for Kerberos session negotiation
- and uid remapping. Some of these features also may depend on
