mount_smbfs and NETSMBCRYPTO

2006-03-17 Thread Derrick Ryalls
Greetings,

I have recently run into a problem mounting windows shares on my 6.1 Beta 2
laptop.  smbfs is loaded via loader.conf, but I get an error message stating
that encryption support is not available.  According to this thread:

http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/stable/2006-02/msg00556.html

I now need to add

options NETSMBCRYPTO

To my kernel config to get encryption support added for mount_smbfs?

I am currently running a generic kernel and I have never needed to do this
in the past just to mount a windows share.  Has something changed recently
and I will need to do a buildworld to fix this?

I tried kldload netsmbcrypto but I guess the file does not exist.  Is there
any way for me to mount a windows share without doing a buildworld?  I did
not pull sources when I built the machine as I intended to just run generic
and load anything extra via loader.conf.

Thanks for any pointers on this.

Yes.  That will fix it.

FWIW... I (and others) were bitten by this.  There was a thread not long 
ago with a few complaining about the change breaking POLA, and possibly 
an explanation as to why it was changed.  However, I can't seem to dig 
it, or anything for that matter, up out of the archives.  Others have 
mentioned the archive search not working well lately... so you might 
wait another day or two and search through the archives for the reason 
why it was changed.
