  11. This is the client VFS module for the Common Internet File System
  12. (CIFS) protocol which is the successor to the Server Message Block
  13. (SMB) protocol, the native file sharing mechanism for most early
  14. PC operating systems. The CIFS protocol is fully supported by
  15. file servers such as Windows 2000 (including Windows 2003, NT 4
  16. and Windows XP) as well by Samba (which provides excellent CIFS
  17. server support for Linux and many other operating systems). Limited
  18. support for OS/2 and Windows ME and similar servers is provided as
  19. well.
  20. The cifs module provides an advanced network file system
  21. client for mounting to CIFS compliant servers. It includes
  22. support for DFS (hierarchical name space), secure per-user
  23. session establishment via Kerberos or NTLM or NTLMv2,
  24. safe distributed caching (oplock), optional packet
  25. signing, Unicode and other internationalization improvements.
  26. If you need to mount to Samba or Windows from this machine, say Y.
  27. config CIFS_STATS
  28. bool "CIFS statistics"
  29. depends on CIFS
  30. help
  31. Enabling this option will cause statistics for each server share
  32. mounted by the cifs client to be displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/Stats
  33. config CIFS_STATS2
  34. bool "Extended statistics"
  35. depends on CIFS_STATS
  36. help
  37. Enabling this option will allow more detailed statistics on SMB
  38. request timing to be displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData and also
  39. allow optional logging of slow responses to dmesg (depending on the
  40. value of /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI, see fs/cifs/README for more details).
  41. These additional statistics may have a minor effect on performance
  42. and memory utilization.
  43. Unless you are a developer or are doing network performance analysis
  44. or tuning, say N.
  45. config CIFS_WEAK_PW_HASH
  46. bool "Support legacy servers which use weaker LANMAN security"
  47. depends on CIFS
  48. help
  49. Modern CIFS servers including Samba and most Windows versions
  50. (since 1997) support stronger NTLM (and even NTLMv2 and Kerberos)
  51. security mechanisms. These hash the password more securely
  52. than the mechanisms used in the older LANMAN version of the
  53. SMB protocol but LANMAN based authentication is needed to
  54. establish sessions with some old SMB servers.
  55. Enabling this option allows the cifs module to mount to older
  56. LANMAN based servers such as OS/2 and Windows 95, but such
  57. mounts may be less secure than mounts using NTLM or more recent
  58. security mechanisms if you are on a public network. Unless you
  59. have a need to access old SMB servers (and are on a private
  60. network) you probably want to say N. Even if this support
  61. is enabled in the kernel build, LANMAN authentication will not be
  62. used automatically. At runtime LANMAN mounts are disabled but
  63. can be set to required (or optional) either in
  64. /proc/fs/cifs (see fs/cifs/README for more detail) or via an
  65. option on the mount command. This support is disabled by
  66. default in order to reduce the possibility of a downgrade
  67. attack.
  68. If unsure, say N.
  69. config CIFS_UPCALL
  70. bool "Kerberos/SPNEGO advanced session setup"
  71. depends on CIFS && KEYS
  72. select DNS_RESOLVER
  73. help
  74. Enables an upcall mechanism for CIFS which accesses userspace helper
  75. utilities to provide SPNEGO packaged (RFC 4178) Kerberos tickets
  76. which are needed to mount to certain secure servers (for which more
  77. secure Kerberos authentication is required). If unsure, say N.
  78. config CIFS_XATTR
  79. bool "CIFS extended attributes"
  80. depends on CIFS
  81. help
  82. Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
  83. the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit
  84. <http://acl.bestbits.at/> for details). CIFS maps the name of
  85. extended attributes beginning with the user namespace prefix
  86. to SMB/CIFS EAs. EAs are stored on Windows servers without the
  87. user namespace prefix, but their names are seen by Linux cifs clients
  88. prefaced by the user namespace prefix. The system namespace
  89. (used by some filesystems to store ACLs) is not supported at
  90. this time.
  91. If unsure, say N.
  92. config CIFS_POSIX
  93. bool "CIFS POSIX Extensions"
  94. depends on CIFS_XATTR
  95. help
  96. Enabling this option will cause the cifs client to attempt to
  97. negotiate a newer dialect with servers, such as Samba 3.0.5
  98. or later, that optionally can handle more POSIX like (rather
  99. than Windows like) file behavior. It also enables
  100. support for POSIX ACLs (getfacl and setfacl) to servers
  101. (such as Samba 3.10 and later) which can negotiate
  102. CIFS POSIX ACL support. If unsure, say N.
  103. config CIFS_DEBUG2
  104. bool "Enable additional CIFS debugging routines"
  105. depends on CIFS
  106. help
  107. Enabling this option adds a few more debugging routines
  108. to the cifs code which slightly increases the size of
  109. the cifs module and can cause additional logging of debug
  110. messages in some error paths, slowing performance. This
  111. option can be turned off unless you are debugging
  112. cifs problems. If unsure, say N.
  113. config CIFS_DFS_UPCALL
  114. bool "DFS feature support"
  115. depends on CIFS && KEYS
  116. select DNS_RESOLVER
  117. help
  118. Distributed File System (DFS) support is used to access shares
  119. transparently in an enterprise name space, even if the share
  120. moves to a different server. This feature also enables
  121. an upcall mechanism for CIFS which contacts userspace helper
  122. utilities to provide server name resolution (host names to
  123. IP addresses) which is needed for implicit mounts of DFS junction
  124. points. If unsure, say N.

  141. depends on CIFS && EXPERIMENTAL
  142. help
  143. Enables cifs features under testing. These features are
  144. experimental and currently include DFS support and directory
  145. change notification ie fcntl(F_DNOTIFY), as well as the upcall
  146. mechanism which will be used for Kerberos session negotiation
  147. and uid remapping. Some of these features also may depend on
  148. setting a value of 1 to the pseudo-file /proc/fs/cifs/Experimental
  149. (which is disabled by default). See the file fs/cifs/README
  150. for more details. If unsure, say N.
