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