SMBFS(5) FreeBSD 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
sysutils/fusefs-smbnetfs port instead.
