Separate out the DNS resolver key type from the CIFS filesystem into its own module so that it can be made available for general use, including the AFS filesystem module. This facility makes it possible for the kernel to upcall to userspace to have it issue DNS requests, package up the replies and present them to the kernel in a useful form. The kernel is then able to cache the DNS replies as keys can be retained in keyrings. Resolver keys are of type "dns_resolver" and have a case-insensitive description that is of the form "[<type>:]<domain_name>". The optional <type> indicates the particular DNS lookup and packaging that's required. The <domain_name> is the query to be made. If <type> isn't given, a basic hostname to IP address lookup is made, and the result is stored in the key in the form of a printable string consisting of a comma-separated list of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. This key type is supported by userspace helpers driven from /sbin/request-key and configured through /etc/request-key.conf. The cifs.upcall utility is invoked for UNC path server name to IP address resolution. The CIFS functionality is encapsulated by the dns_resolve_unc_to_ip() function, which is used to resolve a UNC path to an IP address for CIFS filesystem. This part remains in the CIFS module for now. See the added Documentation/networking/dns_resolver.txt for more information.

This is the client VFS module for the Common Internet File System
|
|
(CIFS) protocol which is the successor to the Server Message Block
|
|
(SMB) protocol, the native file sharing mechanism for most early
|
|
PC operating systems. The CIFS protocol is fully supported by
|
|
file servers such as Windows 2000 (including Windows 2003, NT 4
|
|
and Windows XP) as well by Samba (which provides excellent CIFS
|
|
server support for Linux and many other operating systems). Limited
|
|
support for OS/2 and Windows ME and similar servers is provided as
|
|
well.
|
|
|
|
The cifs module provides an advanced network file system
|
|
client for mounting to CIFS compliant servers. It includes
|
|
support for DFS (hierarchical name space), secure per-user
|
|
session establishment via Kerberos or NTLM or NTLMv2,
|
|
safe distributed caching (oplock), optional packet
|
|
signing, Unicode and other internationalization improvements.
|

If you need to mount to Samba or Windows from this machine, say Y.

These additional statistics may have a minor effect on performance

depends on CIFS
|

help
|
|
Modern CIFS servers including Samba and most Windows versions
|
|
(since 1997) support stronger NTLM (and even NTLMv2 and Kerberos)
|
|
security mechanisms. These hash the password more securely
|
|
than the mechanisms used in the older LANMAN version of the
|
|
SMB protocol but LANMAN based authentication is needed to
|
|
establish sessions with some old SMB servers.
|
|
|
|
Enabling this option allows the cifs module to mount to older
|
|
LANMAN based servers such as OS/2 and Windows 95, but such
|
|
mounts may be less secure than mounts using NTLM or more recent
|
|
security mechanisms if you are on a public network. Unless you
|
|
have a need to access old SMB servers (and are on a private
|
|
network) you probably want to say N. Even if this support
|
|
is enabled in the kernel build, LANMAN authentication will not be
|
|
used automatically. At runtime LANMAN mounts are disabled but
|
|
can be set to required (or optional) either in
|
|
/proc/fs/cifs (see fs/cifs/README for more detail) or via an
|
|
option on the mount command. This support is disabled by
|
|
default in order to reduce the possibility of a downgrade
|
|
attack.

If unsure, say N.

Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by

the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit
|
|
<http://acl.bestbits.at/> for details). CIFS maps the name of
|
|
extended attributes beginning with the user namespace prefix
|
|
to SMB/CIFS EAs. EAs are stored on Windows servers without the
|
|
user namespace prefix, but their names are seen by Linux cifs clients
|
|
prefaced by the user namespace prefix. The system namespace
|
|
(used by some filesystems to store ACLs) is not supported at

this time.

than Windows like) file behavior. It also enables

CIFS POSIX ACL support. If unsure, say N.

Enabling this option adds a few more debugging routines

Distributed File System (DFS) support is used to access shares
