SMB (Server Message Block) is the protocol Windows for Workgroups
|
|
|
|
(WfW), Windows 95/98, Windows NT and OS/2 Lan Manager use to share
|
|
|
|
files and printers over local networks. Saying Y here allows you to
|
|
|
|
mount their file systems (often called "shares" in this context) and
|
|
|
|
access them just like any other Unix directory. Currently, this
|
|
|
|
works only if the Windows machines use TCP/IP as the underlying
|
|
|
|
transport protocol, and not NetBEUI. For details, read
|
|
|
|
<file:Documentation/filesystems/smbfs.txt> and the SMB-HOWTO,
|
|
|
|
available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note: if you just want your box to act as an SMB *server* and make
|
|
|
|
files and printing services available to Windows clients (which need
|
|
|
|
to have a TCP/IP stack), you don't need to say Y here; you can use
|
|
|
|
the program SAMBA (available from <ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/samba/>)
|
|
|
|
for that.

To compile the SMB support as a module, choose M here:
|
|
|
|
the module will be called smbfs. Most people say N, however.

Enabling this will make smbfs use nls translations by default. You
|
|
|
|
need to specify the local charset (CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT) in the nls
|
|
|
|
settings and you need to give the default nls for the SMB server as
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SMB_NLS_REMOTE.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The nls settings can be changed at mount time, if your smbmount
|
|
|
|
supports that, using the codepage and iocharset parameters.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
smbmount from samba 2.2.0 or later supports this.

This setting allows you to specify a default value for which

|
|
|
codepage the server uses. If this field is left blank no
|
|
|

translations will be done by default. The local codepage/charset
|
|
|
|
default to CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT.
