So far most of the feedback (e.g. on the recent addition of NTLMSSP security provider compatability and some of the MS DFS work in progress) has been from the Samba community (rather than Linux kernel side) since I have been doing much of my testing against Samba servers and the project info is hosted there. The current 2.5 source for the CIFS VFS is at http://cifs.bkbits.net/linux-2.5 and the project web site is at http://us1.samba.org/samba/Linux_CIFS_client.html Steve French Senior Software Engineer Linux Technology Center - IBM Austin phone: 512-838-2294 email: sfrench@us.ibm.com
