  8. This is the client VFS module for the Common Internet File System
  9. (CIFS) protocol which is the successor to the Server Message Block
  10. (SMB) protocol, the native file sharing mechanism for most early
  11. PC operating systems. The CIFS protocol is fully supported by
  12. file servers such as Windows 2000 (including Windows 2003, NT 4
  13. and Windows XP) as well by Samba (which provides excellent CIFS
  14. server support for Linux and many other operating systems). Limited
  15. support for OS/2 and Windows ME and similar servers is provided as
  16. well.
  17. The cifs module provides an advanced network file system
  18. client for mounting to CIFS compliant servers. It includes
  19. support for DFS (hierarchical name space), secure per-user
  20. session establishment via Kerberos or NTLM or NTLMv2,
  21. safe distributed caching (oplock), optional packet
  22. signing, Unicode and other internationalization improvements.
  23. If you need to mount to Samba or Windows from this machine, say Y.
  24. config CIFS_STATS
  25. bool "CIFS statistics"
  26. depends on CIFS
  27. help
  28. Enabling this option will cause statistics for each server share
  29. mounted by the cifs client to be displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/Stats
  30. config CIFS_STATS2
  31. bool "Extended statistics"
  32. depends on CIFS_STATS
  33. help
  34. Enabling this option will allow more detailed statistics on SMB
  35. request timing to be displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData and also
  36. allow optional logging of slow responses to dmesg (depending on the
  37. value of /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI, see fs/cifs/README for more details).
  38. These additional statistics may have a minor effect on performance
  39. and memory utilization.
  40. Unless you are a developer or are doing network performance analysis
  41. or tuning, say N.
  42. config CIFS_WEAK_PW_HASH
  43. bool "Support legacy servers which use weaker LANMAN security"
  44. depends on CIFS
  45. help
  46. Modern CIFS servers including Samba and most Windows versions
  47. (since 1997) support stronger NTLM (and even NTLMv2 and Kerberos)
  48. security mechanisms. These hash the password more securely
  49. than the mechanisms used in the older LANMAN version of the
  50. SMB protocol but LANMAN based authentication is needed to
  51. establish sessions with some old SMB servers.
  52. Enabling this option allows the cifs module to mount to older
  53. LANMAN based servers such as OS/2 and Windows 95, but such
  54. mounts may be less secure than mounts using NTLM or more recent
  55. security mechanisms if you are on a public network. Unless you
  56. have a need to access old SMB servers (and are on a private
  57. network) you probably want to say N. Even if this support
  58. is enabled in the kernel build, LANMAN authentication will not be
  59. used automatically. At runtime LANMAN mounts are disabled but
  60. can be set to required (or optional) either in
  61. /proc/fs/cifs (see fs/cifs/README for more detail) or via an
  62. option on the mount command. This support is disabled by
  63. default in order to reduce the possibility of a downgrade
  64. attack.
  65. If unsure, say N.
  66. config CIFS_UPCALL
  67. bool "Kerberos/SPNEGO advanced session setup"
  68. depends on CIFS && KEYS
  69. select DNS_RESOLVER
  70. help
  71. Enables an upcall mechanism for CIFS which accesses userspace helper
  72. utilities to provide SPNEGO packaged (RFC 4178) Kerberos tickets
  73. which are needed to mount to certain secure servers (for which more
  74. secure Kerberos authentication is required). If unsure, say N.
  75. config CIFS_XATTR
  76. bool "CIFS extended attributes"
  77. depends on CIFS
  78. help
  79. Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
  80. the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit
  81. <http://acl.bestbits.at/> for details). CIFS maps the name of
  82. extended attributes beginning with the user namespace prefix
  83. to SMB/CIFS EAs. EAs are stored on Windows servers without the
  84. user namespace prefix, but their names are seen by Linux cifs clients
  85. prefaced by the user namespace prefix. The system namespace
  86. (used by some filesystems to store ACLs) is not supported at
  87. this time.
  88. If unsure, say N.
  89. config CIFS_POSIX
  90. bool "CIFS POSIX Extensions"
  91. depends on CIFS_XATTR
  92. help
  93. Enabling this option will cause the cifs client to attempt to
  94. negotiate a newer dialect with servers, such as Samba 3.0.5
  95. or later, that optionally can handle more POSIX like (rather
  96. than Windows like) file behavior. It also enables
  97. support for POSIX ACLs (getfacl and setfacl) to servers
  98. (such as Samba 3.10 and later) which can negotiate
  99. CIFS POSIX ACL support. If unsure, say N.
  100. config CIFS_DEBUG2
  101. bool "Enable additional CIFS debugging routines"
  102. depends on CIFS
  103. help
  104. Enabling this option adds a few more debugging routines
  105. to the cifs code which slightly increases the size of
  106. the cifs module and can cause additional logging of debug
  107. messages in some error paths, slowing performance. This
  108. option can be turned off unless you are debugging
  109. cifs problems. If unsure, say N.
  110. config CIFS_DFS_UPCALL
  111. bool "DFS feature support"
  112. depends on CIFS && KEYS
  113. select DNS_RESOLVER
  114. help
  115. Distributed File System (DFS) support is used to access shares
  116. transparently in an enterprise name space, even if the share
  117. moves to a different server. This feature also enables
  118. an upcall mechanism for CIFS which contacts userspace helper
  119. utilities to provide server name resolution (host names to
  120. IP addresses) which is needed for implicit mounts of DFS junction
  121. points. If unsure, say N.
  122. config CIFS_FSCACHE
  123. bool "Provide CIFS client caching support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
  124. depends on EXPERIMENTAL
  125. depends on CIFS=m && FSCACHE || CIFS=y && FSCACHE=y
  126. help
  127. Makes CIFS FS-Cache capable. Say Y here if you want your CIFS data
  128. to be cached locally on disk through the general filesystem cache
  129. manager. If unsure, say N.
  130. config CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL
  131. bool "CIFS Experimental Features (EXPERIMENTAL)"
  132. depends on CIFS && EXPERIMENTAL
  133. help
  134. Enables cifs features under testing. These features are
  135. experimental and currently include DFS support and directory
  136. change notification ie fcntl(F_DNOTIFY), as well as the upcall
  137. mechanism which will be used for Kerberos session negotiation
  138. and uid remapping. Some of these features also may depend on
  139. setting a value of 1 to the pseudo-file /proc/fs/cifs/Experimental
  140. (which is disabled by default). See the file fs/cifs/README
  141. for more details. If unsure, say N.
