2a38e120 19 This is the client VFS module for the SMB3 family of NAS protocols,
0fdfef9a
SF
20 (including support for the most recent, most secure dialect SMB3.1.1)
21 as well as for earlier dialects such as SMB2.1, SMB2 and the older
2a38e120
SF
22 Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol. CIFS was the successor
23 to the original dialect, the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol, the
24 native file sharing mechanism for most early PC operating systems.
25
0fdfef9a
SF
26 The SMB3 protocol is supported by most modern operating systems
27 and NAS appliances (e.g. Samba, Windows 10, Windows Server 2016,
28 MacOS) and even in the cloud (e.g. Microsoft Azure).
2a38e120
SF
29 The older CIFS protocol was included in Windows NT4, 2000 and XP (and
30 later) as well by Samba (which provides excellent CIFS and SMB3
0fdfef9a
SF
31 server support for Linux and many other operating systems). Use of
32 dialects older than SMB2.1 is often discouraged on public networks.
33 This module also provides limited support for OS/2 and Windows ME
34 and similar very old servers.
bb26b963 35
0fdfef9a 36 This module provides an advanced network file system client
2a38e120 37 for mounting to SMB3 (and CIFS) compliant servers. It includes
bb26b963 38 support for DFS (hierarchical name space), secure per-user
0fdfef9a
SF
39 session establishment via Kerberos or NTLM or NTLMv2, RDMA
40 (smbdirect), advanced security features, per-share encryption,
41 directory leases, safe distributed caching (oplock), optional packet
bb26b963 42 signing, Unicode and other internationalization improvements.
2a38e120
SF
43
44 In general, the default dialects, SMB3 and later, enable better
45 performance, security and features, than would be possible with CIFS.
46 Note that when mounting to Samba, due to the CIFS POSIX extensions,
47 CIFS mounts can provide slightly better POSIX compatibility
48 than SMB3 mounts. SMB2/SMB3 mount options are also
49 slightly simpler (compared to CIFS) due to protocol improvements.
50
0fdfef9a 51 If you need to mount to Samba, Azure, Macs or Windows from this machine, say Y.

AD
56 help
57 Enabling this option will allow more detailed statistics on SMB
58 request timing to be displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData and also
59 allow optional logging of slow responses to dmesg (depending on the
60 value of /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI, see fs/cifs/README for more details).
61 These additional statistics may have a minor effect on performance
62 and memory utilization.

65 or tuning, say N.

69 depends on CIFS
70 default y
71 help
72 Modern dialects, SMB2.1 and later (including SMB3 and 3.1.1), have
73 additional security features, including protection against
74 man-in-the-middle attacks and stronger crypto hashes, so the use
75 of legacy dialects (SMB1/CIFS and SMB2.0) is discouraged.
76
77 Disabling this option prevents users from using vers=1.0 or vers=2.0
78 on mounts with cifs.ko

83 bool "Support legacy servers which use weaker LANMAN security"
7420451f 84 depends on CIFS && CIFS_ALLOW_INSECURE_LEGACY
bb26b963
AD
85 help
86 Modern CIFS servers including Samba and most Windows versions
87 (since 1997) support stronger NTLM (and even NTLMv2 and Kerberos)
88 security mechanisms. These hash the password more securely
89 than the mechanisms used in the older LANMAN version of the
90 SMB protocol but LANMAN based authentication is needed to
91 establish sessions with some old SMB servers.
92
93 Enabling this option allows the cifs module to mount to older
94 LANMAN based servers such as OS/2 and Windows 95, but such
95 mounts may be less secure than mounts using NTLM or more recent
96 security mechanisms if you are on a public network. Unless you
97 have a need to access old SMB servers (and are on a private
98 network) you probably want to say N. Even if this support
99 is enabled in the kernel build, LANMAN authentication will not be
100 used automatically. At runtime LANMAN mounts are disabled but
101 can be set to required (or optional) either in
102 /proc/fs/cifs (see fs/cifs/README for more detail) or via an
103 option on the mount command. This support is disabled by
104 default in order to reduce the possibility of a downgrade
105 attack.

123 Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by

AB
124 the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page for details).
125 CIFS maps the name of extended attributes beginning with the user
126 namespace prefix to SMB/CIFS EAs. EAs are stored on Windows
127 servers without the user namespace prefix, but their names are
128 seen by Linux cifs clients prefaced by the user namespace prefix.
129 The system namespace (used by some filesystems to store ACLs) is
130 not supported at this time.

138 Enabling this option will cause the cifs client to attempt to
139 negotiate a newer dialect with servers, such as Samba 3.0.5
140 or later, that optionally can handle more POSIX like (rather
141 than Windows like) file behavior. It also enables
142 support for POSIX ACLs (getfacl and setfacl) to servers
143 (such as Samba 3.10 and later) which can negotiate
144 CIFS POSIX ACL support. If unsure, say N.
