I am pleased to announce the CIFS Server project, which provides an integrated kernel CIFS service for the OpenSolaris operating system.
Community page: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/cifs-server The Common Internet File System (CIFS), also known as SMB, is the standard for Windows file sharing services, and one primary goals of the project is to provide seamless, ubiquitous, cross-protocol file sharing in Windows and/or Solaris environments. This initial integration of the CIFS Server supports file sharing in Workgroup and Domain mode, with substantial enhancements to the OpenSolaris file system, services and commands to accommodate Windows file sharing attributes and semantics. This project integration is the result of several years of work and collaboration with various teams in the Solaris development organization. I would like to thank all those who have contributed to the project and helped in a successful initial integration, and I would like to invite the OpenSolaris community to get involved at the project page above.
