| SMB (Server Message Block) is the protocol Windows for Workgroups |
| (WfW), Windows 95/98, Windows NT and OS/2 Lan Manager use to share |
| files and printers over local networks. Saying Y here allows you to |
| mount their file systems (often called "shares" in this context) and |
| access them just like any other Unix directory. Currently, this |
| works only if the Windows machines use TCP/IP as the underlying |
| transport protocol, and not NetBEUI. For details, read |
| <file:Documentation/filesystems/smbfs.txt> and the SMB-HOWTO, |
| available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. |
| |
| Note: if you just want your box to act as an SMB *server* and make |
| files and printing services available to Windows clients (which need |
| to have a TCP/IP stack), you don't need to say Y here; you can use |
| the program SAMBA (available from <ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/samba/>) |
| for that. |
| |
| General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and |
| Macs is on the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>. |
| |
| To compile the SMB support as a module, choose M here: |
| the module will be called smbfs. Most people say N, however. |

| config SMB_NLS_DEFAULT |
| bool "Use a default NLS" |
| depends on SMB_FS |
| help |
| Enabling this will make smbfs use nls translations by default. You |
| need to specify the local charset (CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT) in the nls |
| settings and you need to give the default nls for the SMB server as |
| CONFIG_SMB_NLS_REMOTE. |
| |
| The nls settings can be changed at mount time, if your smbmount |
| supports that, using the codepage and iocharset parameters. |
| |
| smbmount from samba 2.2.0 or later supports this. |

| This setting allows you to specify a default value for which |
