SMBFS(5)		      File Formats Manual		      SMBFS(5)

NAME
       smbfs --	SMB FS

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
       Filesystem) 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.

SEE ALSO
       smbutil(1), mount_smbfs(8)
