In order to use nfs, certain options have to be set when compiling theãkernel (and most distros default to the nfs settings being ON). In orderãto use samba, are there any options that have to be set when the kernel wasãcompiled, or should it work with just a generic kernel?ããThanks!ãMikeãã---ã þ SLMR 2.1a þ Goodness!

Theãkernel option CONFIG_CIFS is not enabled by default.ããhttps://wiki.samba.org/index.php/LinuxCIFSããhttps://is.gd/kkz8t4ããPeace,ãBenãã---ã þ Synchronet þ CAPCITY2 * capcity2.synchro.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/Rlogin/HTTPã

I did some reading also but was not sure what the differenceãbetween the using the samba client and using the CIFS client are.

So far, Iãhave figured out for sure that it indeed has the kernel nfs all turned off,ãwhich is not the usual default for generic kernels these days.ãã---ã þ SLMR 2.1a þ DalekDOS error: (I)Obey (V)ision impaired (E)xterminateã þ Synchronet þ CAPCITY2 * capcity2.synchro.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/Rlogin/HTTPã

You either use it at theãcommand-line, or you can use a graphical file manager that hasãbuilt-in client code. It's comparable to FTP.ããThe CIFS client is in the kernel. You mount it like you do NFS.ãThe filesystem is available to all applications just like NFS.ããBest regards,ãBenãã---ã þ Synchronet þ CAPCITY2 * capcity2.synchro.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/Rlogin/HTTPã
