SMBFS(4)		     Kernel Interfaces Manual			SMBFS(4)

NAME
     smbfs -- server message block (SMB1/CIFS) file system

SYNOPSIS
     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your
     kernel configuration file:

	   option NETSMB

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the
     following line in loader.conf(5):

	   smbfs_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION
     The  SMB  driver is an implementation of the CIFS (Common Internet Filesys-
     tem) network protocol.

     The smbfs filesystem driver supports  only  the  obsolete	SMBv1  protocol.
     smbfs  has  known	bugs and likely has security vulnerabilities.  smbfs and
     userspace counterparts smbutil(1) and mount_smbfs(8) may be removed from  a
     future   version	of   FreeBSD.	 Users	 are  advised  to  evaluate  the
     filesystems/smbnetfs port instead.
