1config SMB_FS
2 tristate "SMB file system support (OBSOLETE, please use CIFS)"
3 depends on INET
4 select NLS
5 help
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.
21
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>.
24
25 To compile the SMB support as a module, choose M here:
26 the module will be called smbfs. Most people say N, however.
27
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.
