> > Has anyone done work on smbfs for FreeBSD? Yes, off an on. See the -hackers and -current list archives for "SMBFS". Pay special attention to the security model problems between "per request credentials" vs. "per connection credentials" with regard to multiuser systems. CIFS resolves some of this by supporting "per request credentials" via Kerberos tickets. The LanMan protocols prior to CIFS had serious issues which could only be addressed through a much more complex session management facility (which no one but Novell has written yet).
