| 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 | |
| codepage the server uses. If this field is left blank no | |
| translations will be done by default. The local codepage/charset | |
| default to CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT. | |
