   1config SMB_FS
   2        tristate "SMB file system support (OBSOLETE, please use CIFS)"

   6          SMB (Server Message Block) is the protocol Windows for Workgroups
   7          (WfW), Windows 95/98, Windows NT and OS/2 Lan Manager use to share
   8          files and printers over local networks.  Saying Y here allows you to
   9          mount their file systems (often called "shares" in this context) and
  10          access them just like any other Unix directory.  Currently, this
  11          works only if the Windows machines use TCP/IP as the underlying
  12          transport protocol, and not NetBEUI.  For details, read
  13          <file:Documentation/filesystems/smbfs.txt> and the SMB-HOWTO,
  14          available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
  15
  16          Note: if you just want your box to act as an SMB *server* and make
  17          files and printing services available to Windows clients (which need
  18          to have a TCP/IP stack), you don't need to say Y here; you can use
  19          the program SAMBA (available from <ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/samba/>)
  20          for that.

  22          General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and
  23          Macs is on the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>.

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

  28config SMB_NLS_DEFAULT
  29        bool "Use a default NLS"
  30        depends on SMB_FS
  31        help
  32          Enabling this will make smbfs use nls translations by default. You
  33          need to specify the local charset (CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT) in the nls
  34          settings and you need to give the default nls for the SMB server as
  35          CONFIG_SMB_NLS_REMOTE.
  36
  37          The nls settings can be changed at mount time, if your smbmount
  38          supports that, using the codepage and iocharset parameters.
  39
  40          smbmount from samba 2.2.0 or later supports this.
  41
  42config SMB_NLS_REMOTE
  43        string "Default Remote NLS Option"
  44        depends on SMB_NLS_DEFAULT
  45        default "cp437"
  46        help
  47          This setting allows you to specify a default value for which
  48          codepage the server uses. If this field is left blank no
  49          translations will be done by default. The local codepage/charset
  50          default to CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT.
  51
  52          The nls settings can be changed at mount time, if your smbmount
  53          supports that, using the codepage and iocharset parameters.
  54
  55          smbmount from samba 2.2.0 or later supports this.
