Summary : Utilities for mounting and managing CIFS mounts
Description :
The SMB/CIFS protocol is a standard file sharing protocol widely deployed
on Microsoft Windows machines. This package contains tools for mounting
shares on Linux using the SMB/CIFS protocol. The tools in this package
work in conjunction with support in the kernel to allow one to mount a
SMB/CIFS share onto a client and use it as if it were a standard Linux
file system.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
This updates the cifs-utils package to version 5.4, which contains a number of bugfixes
and enhancements. Highlights include:
* mount.cifs now supports the -s option by passing "sloppy" to the kernel in the
options string
* cifs.upcall now properly respects the domain_realm section in krb5.conf
* unprivileged users can no longer mount onto dirs into which they can't chdir (fixes
CVE-2012-1586)
* the cifscreds, getcifsacl and setcifsacl programs have been added to the package
