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>. | ||

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

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. | ||

47 | This setting allows you to specify a default value for which | ||
