OpenSolaris Project: CIFS client for SolarisView the leaders for this projectProject Observers Endorsing communitiesOS/Net (ON)Storage Testing IntroductionThe CIFS protocol (a.k.a. SMB) is the natural file sharing protocol on Microsoft Windows machines, and is implemented by Samba on UNIX/Linux. This project will deliver a standard Solaris virtual file system that implements a CIFS client, which provides access to files and directories on CIFS servers. When using the CIFS client, users can mount remote CIFS server shares on their Solaris system to get read-write access with ordinary Unix applications. See the Solaris CIFS Client Overview presentation for more information. The Solaris smbfs implementation is a port from the Darwin smbfs implementation, which is Apple Computer's BSD variant used in Mac OS X. This product includes software developed by Boris Popov. StatusPhase 1 has been integrated into Nevada build 84. See the announcement and "heads up" pages for more details. Work is underway on Phase 2 features.
