|
4 protocol which is the successor to the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol, the
|
|
al@19583
|
5 native file sharing mechanism for most early PC operating systems. The CIFS
|
|
al@19583
|
6 protocol is fully supported by file servers such as Windows 2000 (including
|
|
al@19583
|
7 Windows 2003, Windows 2008, NT 4 and Windows XP) as well by Samba (which
|
|
al@19583
|
8 provides excellent CIFS server support for Linux and many other operating
|
|
al@19583
|
9 systems). Limited support for OS/2 and Windows ME and similar servers is
|
|
al@19583

|
|
al@19583
|
16 CIFS compliant servers. It includes support for DFS (hierarchical name space),
|
|
al@19583
|
17 secure per-user session establishment via Kerberos or NTLM or NTLMv2, safe
|
|
al@19583

18 distributed caching (oplock), optional packet signing, Unicode and other
|
|
al@19583
|
19 internationalization improvements.
