[storage-discuss] Project Proposal: CIFS Server | |
I would like to propose a new Open Solaris project called
"CIFS Server" providing Microsoft Windows interoperability
capabilities for Open Solaris.
The Common Internet File System (CIFS), also commonly referred to as SMB,
is the standard for Microsoft file sharing services. Unlike NFS, which
is a
pure file sharing service and protocol, CIFS encompasses a wide variety
of services. Such services include file sharing services, naming services,
MSRPC services, and subprotocols such as named pipes, all of which are
required to provide the Windows-like behavior necessary to fully support
CIFS clients.
This project will be initiated by the integration of a preliminary
kernel-based Solaris CIFS implementation into Solaris Nevada B77. The
Solaris
CIFS server includes numerous enhancements to the Solaris OS to accommodate
CIFS file sharing semantics, file attributes, and user credentials.
These changes
make CIFS a "first-class citizen" among other Solaris file system and file
sharing technologies.
This project will be associated with (and endorsed by) the
Storage Community. The proposed leaders will be Joe Wesley,
Alan Wright, and Cathleen Reiher.
