  15. This is the client VFS module for the Common Internet File System
  16. (CIFS) protocol which is the successor to the Server Message Block
  17. (SMB) protocol, the native file sharing mechanism for most early
  18. PC operating systems. The CIFS protocol is fully supported by
  19. file servers such as Windows 2000 (including Windows 2003, Windows 2008,
  20. NT 4 and Windows XP) as well by Samba (which provides excellent CIFS
  21. server support for Linux and many other operating systems). Limited
  22. support for OS/2 and Windows ME and similar servers is provided as
  23. well.
  24. The cifs module provides an advanced network file system
  25. client for mounting to CIFS compliant servers. It includes
  26. support for DFS (hierarchical name space), secure per-user
  27. session establishment via Kerberos or NTLM or NTLMv2,
  28. safe distributed caching (oplock), optional packet
  29. signing, Unicode and other internationalization improvements.
  30. If you need to mount to Samba or Windows from this machine, say Y.
  31. config CIFS_STATS
  32. bool "CIFS statistics"
  33. depends on CIFS
  34. help
  35. Enabling this option will cause statistics for each server share
  36. mounted by the cifs client to be displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/Stats
  37. config CIFS_STATS2
  38. bool "Extended statistics"
  39. depends on CIFS_STATS
  40. help
  41. Enabling this option will allow more detailed statistics on SMB
  42. request timing to be displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData and also
  43. allow optional logging of slow responses to dmesg (depending on the
  44. value of /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI, see fs/cifs/README for more details).
  45. These additional statistics may have a minor effect on performance
  46. and memory utilization.
  47. Unless you are a developer or are doing network performance analysis
  48. or tuning, say N.
  49. config CIFS_WEAK_PW_HASH
  50. bool "Support legacy servers which use weaker LANMAN security"
  51. depends on CIFS
  52. help
  53. Modern CIFS servers including Samba and most Windows versions
  54. (since 1997) support stronger NTLM (and even NTLMv2 and Kerberos)
  55. security mechanisms. These hash the password more securely
  56. than the mechanisms used in the older LANMAN version of the
  57. SMB protocol but LANMAN based authentication is needed to
  58. establish sessions with some old SMB servers.
  59. Enabling this option allows the cifs module to mount to older
  60. LANMAN based servers such as OS/2 and Windows 95, but such
  61. mounts may be less secure than mounts using NTLM or more recent
  62. security mechanisms if you are on a public network. Unless you
  63. have a need to access old SMB servers (and are on a private
  64. network) you probably want to say N. Even if this support
  65. is enabled in the kernel build, LANMAN authentication will not be
  66. used automatically. At runtime LANMAN mounts are disabled but
  67. can be set to required (or optional) either in
  68. /proc/fs/cifs (see fs/cifs/README for more detail) or via an
  69. option on the mount command. This support is disabled by
  70. default in order to reduce the possibility of a downgrade
  71. attack.
  72. If unsure, say N.
  73. config CIFS_UPCALL
  74. bool "Kerberos/SPNEGO advanced session setup"
  75. depends on CIFS && KEYS
  76. select DNS_RESOLVER
  77. help
  78. Enables an upcall mechanism for CIFS which accesses userspace helper
  79. utilities to provide SPNEGO packaged (RFC 4178) Kerberos tickets
  80. which are needed to mount to certain secure servers (for which more
  81. secure Kerberos authentication is required). If unsure, say N.
  82. config CIFS_XATTR
  83. bool "CIFS extended attributes"
  84. depends on CIFS
  85. help
  86. Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
  87. the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit
  88. <http://acl.bestbits.at/> for details). CIFS maps the name of
  89. extended attributes beginning with the user namespace prefix
  90. to SMB/CIFS EAs. EAs are stored on Windows servers without the
  91. user namespace prefix, but their names are seen by Linux cifs clients
  92. prefaced by the user namespace prefix. The system namespace
  93. (used by some filesystems to store ACLs) is not supported at
  94. this time.
  95. If unsure, say N.
  96. config CIFS_POSIX
  97. bool "CIFS POSIX Extensions"
  98. depends on CIFS_XATTR
  99. help
  100. Enabling this option will cause the cifs client to attempt to
  101. negotiate a newer dialect with servers, such as Samba 3.0.5
  102. or later, that optionally can handle more POSIX like (rather
  103. than Windows like) file behavior. It also enables
  104. support for POSIX ACLs (getfacl and setfacl) to servers
  105. (such as Samba 3.10 and later) which can negotiate
  106. CIFS POSIX ACL support. If unsure, say N.
  107. config CIFS_ACL

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

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

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

  170. to be cached locally on disk through the general filesystem cache
  171. manager. If unsure, say N.
