2a38e120 20 This is the client VFS module for the SMB3 family of NAS protocols,
0fdfef9a
SF
21 (including support for the most recent, most secure dialect SMB3.1.1)
22 as well as for earlier dialects such as SMB2.1, SMB2 and the older
2a38e120
SF
23 Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol. CIFS was the successor
24 to the original dialect, the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol, the
25 native file sharing mechanism for most early PC operating systems.
26
0fdfef9a
SF
27 The SMB3 protocol is supported by most modern operating systems
28 and NAS appliances (e.g. Samba, Windows 10, Windows Server 2016,
29 MacOS) and even in the cloud (e.g. Microsoft Azure).
2a38e120
SF
30 The older CIFS protocol was included in Windows NT4, 2000 and XP (and
31 later) as well by Samba (which provides excellent CIFS and SMB3
0fdfef9a
SF
32 server support for Linux and many other operating systems). Use of
33 dialects older than SMB2.1 is often discouraged on public networks.
34 This module also provides limited support for OS/2 and Windows ME
35 and similar very old servers.
bb26b963 36
0fdfef9a 37 This module provides an advanced network file system client
2a38e120 38 for mounting to SMB3 (and CIFS) compliant servers. It includes
bb26b963 39 support for DFS (hierarchical name space), secure per-user
0fdfef9a
SF
40 session establishment via Kerberos or NTLM or NTLMv2, RDMA
41 (smbdirect), advanced security features, per-share encryption,
42 directory leases, safe distributed caching (oplock), optional packet
bb26b963 43 signing, Unicode and other internationalization improvements.
2a38e120
SF
44
45 In general, the default dialects, SMB3 and later, enable better
46 performance, security and features, than would be possible with CIFS.
47 Note that when mounting to Samba, due to the CIFS POSIX extensions,
48 CIFS mounts can provide slightly better POSIX compatibility
49 than SMB3 mounts. SMB2/SMB3 mount options are also
50 slightly simpler (compared to CIFS) due to protocol improvements.

72 help
73 Modern dialects, SMB2.1 and later (including SMB3 and 3.1.1), have
74 additional security features, including protection against
75 man-in-the-middle attacks and stronger crypto hashes, so the use
76 of legacy dialects (SMB1/CIFS and SMB2.0) is discouraged.

bb26b963
AD
86 help
87 Modern CIFS servers including Samba and most Windows versions
88 (since 1997) support stronger NTLM (and even NTLMv2 and Kerberos)
89 security mechanisms. These hash the password more securely
90 than the mechanisms used in the older LANMAN version of the
91 SMB protocol but LANMAN based authentication is needed to
92 establish sessions with some old SMB servers.
93
94 Enabling this option allows the cifs module to mount to older
95 LANMAN based servers such as OS/2 and Windows 95, but such
96 mounts may be less secure than mounts using NTLM or more recent
97 security mechanisms if you are on a public network. Unless you
98 have a need to access old SMB servers (and are on a private
99 network) you probably want to say N. Even if this support
100 is enabled in the kernel build, LANMAN authentication will not be
101 used automatically. At runtime LANMAN mounts are disabled but
102 can be set to required (or optional) either in
103 /proc/fs/cifs (see fs/cifs/README for more detail) or via an
104 option on the mount command. This support is disabled by
105 default in order to reduce the possibility of a downgrade
106 attack.

124 Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
125 the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page for details).
126 CIFS maps the name of extended attributes beginning with the user
127 namespace prefix to SMB/CIFS EAs. EAs are stored on Windows
128 servers without the user namespace prefix, but their names are
129 seen by Linux cifs clients prefaced by the user namespace prefix.

131 not supported at this time.
