  14. This is the client VFS module for the Common Internet File System
  15. (CIFS) protocol which is the successor to the Server Message Block
  16. (SMB) protocol, the native file sharing mechanism for most early
  17. PC operating systems. The CIFS protocol is fully supported by
  18. file servers such as Windows 2000 (including Windows 2003, Windows 2008,
  19. NT 4 and Windows XP) as well by Samba (which provides excellent CIFS
  20. server support for Linux and many other operating systems). Limited
  21. support for OS/2 and Windows ME and similar servers is provided as
  22. well.
  23. The cifs module provides an advanced network file system
  24. client for mounting to CIFS compliant servers. It includes
  25. support for DFS (hierarchical name space), secure per-user
  26. session establishment via Kerberos or NTLM or NTLMv2,
  27. safe distributed caching (oplock), optional packet
  28. signing, Unicode and other internationalization improvements.
  29. If you need to mount to Samba or Windows from this machine, say Y.
  30. config CIFS_STATS
  31. bool "CIFS statistics"
  32. depends on CIFS
  33. help
  34. Enabling this option will cause statistics for each server share
  35. mounted by the cifs client to be displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/Stats
  36. config CIFS_STATS2
  37. bool "Extended statistics"
  38. depends on CIFS_STATS
  39. help
  40. Enabling this option will allow more detailed statistics on SMB
  41. request timing to be displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData and also
  42. allow optional logging of slow responses to dmesg (depending on the
  43. value of /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI, see fs/cifs/README for more details).
  44. These additional statistics may have a minor effect on performance
  45. and memory utilization.
  46. Unless you are a developer or are doing network performance analysis
  47. or tuning, say N.
  48. config CIFS_WEAK_PW_HASH
  49. bool "Support legacy servers which use weaker LANMAN security"
  50. depends on CIFS
  51. help
  52. Modern CIFS servers including Samba and most Windows versions
  53. (since 1997) support stronger NTLM (and even NTLMv2 and Kerberos)
  54. security mechanisms. These hash the password more securely
  55. than the mechanisms used in the older LANMAN version of the
  56. SMB protocol but LANMAN based authentication is needed to
  57. establish sessions with some old SMB servers.
  58. Enabling this option allows the cifs module to mount to older
  59. LANMAN based servers such as OS/2 and Windows 95, but such
  60. mounts may be less secure than mounts using NTLM or more recent
  61. security mechanisms if you are on a public network. Unless you
  62. have a need to access old SMB servers (and are on a private
  63. network) you probably want to say N. Even if this support
  64. is enabled in the kernel build, LANMAN authentication will not be
  65. used automatically. At runtime LANMAN mounts are disabled but
  66. can be set to required (or optional) either in
  67. /proc/fs/cifs (see fs/cifs/README for more detail) or via an
  68. option on the mount command. This support is disabled by
  69. default in order to reduce the possibility of a downgrade
  70. attack.
  71. If unsure, say N.

  73. bool "Kerberos/SPNEGO advanced session setup"
  74. depends on CIFS && KEYS
  75. select DNS_RESOLVER
  76. help
  77. Enables an upcall mechanism for CIFS which accesses userspace helper
  78. utilities to provide SPNEGO packaged (RFC 4178) Kerberos tickets
  79. which are needed to mount to certain secure servers (for which more
  80. secure Kerberos authentication is required). If unsure, say N.
  81. config CIFS_XATTR
  82. bool "CIFS extended attributes"
  83. depends on CIFS
  84. help
  85. Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
  86. the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit
  87. <http://acl.bestbits.at/> for details). CIFS maps the name of
  88. extended attributes beginning with the user namespace prefix
  89. to SMB/CIFS EAs. EAs are stored on Windows servers without the
  90. user namespace prefix, but their names are seen by Linux cifs clients
  91. prefaced by the user namespace prefix. The system namespace
  92. (used by some filesystems to store ACLs) is not supported at
  93. this time.
  94. If unsure, say N.
  95. config CIFS_POSIX
  96. bool "CIFS POSIX Extensions"
  97. depends on CIFS_XATTR
  98. help
  99. Enabling this option will cause the cifs client to attempt to
  100. negotiate a newer dialect with servers, such as Samba 3.0.5
  101. or later, that optionally can handle more POSIX like (rather
  102. than Windows like) file behavior. It also enables
  103. support for POSIX ACLs (getfacl and setfacl) to servers
  104. (such as Samba 3.10 and later) which can negotiate
  105. CIFS POSIX ACL support. If unsure, say N.
  106. config CIFS_ACL

  120. config CIFS_DEBUG2
  121. bool "Enable additional CIFS debugging routines"
  122. depends on CIFS_DEBUG
  123. help
  124. Enabling this option adds a few more debugging routines
  125. to the cifs code which slightly increases the size of
  126. the cifs module and can cause additional logging of debug
  127. messages in some error paths, slowing performance. This
  128. option can be turned off unless you are debugging
  129. cifs problems. If unsure, say N.

  133. select DNS_RESOLVER
  134. help
  135. Distributed File System (DFS) support is used to access shares
  136. transparently in an enterprise name space, even if the share
  137. moves to a different server. This feature also enables
  138. an upcall mechanism for CIFS which contacts userspace helper
  139. utilities to provide server name resolution (host names to
  140. IP addresses) which is needed for implicit mounts of DFS junction
  141. points. If unsure, say N.
  142. config CIFS_NFSD_EXPORT

  155. This enables experimental support for the SMB2 (Server Message Block
  156. version 2) protocol. The SMB2 protocol is the successor to the
  157. popular CIFS and SMB network file sharing protocols. SMB2 is the
  158. native file sharing mechanism for recent versions of Windows
  159. operating systems (since Vista). SMB2 enablement will eventually
  160. allow users better performance, security and features, than would be
  161. possible with cifs. Note that smb2 mount options also are simpler
  162. (compared to cifs) due to protocol improvements.
  163. Unless you are a developer or tester, say N.
  164. config CIFS_FSCACHE

  170. manager. If unsure, say N.
