Long term I agree that CIFS and SMB2 should be in the same .ko But NTLM 0.12 still works for Vista and DFS referrals. Breaking out SMB2 initially means that it will not clutter the working cifs.ko code. Remember that an SMB2 client fs is mostly research at this point, and not engineering. cheers, jerry ===================================================================== Samba ------- http://www.samba.org Centeris ----------- http://www.centeris.com "What man is a man who does not make the world better?" --Balian -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGOfWsIR7qMdg1EfYRAk35AJ9bCG/s2rIn2HVB4XehxBMY8XH1AQCgkQUj Jy522rF0YIdICgd70IWKj4s= =EWTL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
