expert needed to make cifs work
cifs appears to be the future
My debian install has a cifs.ko at about 200k, smbmount in puppy is 800k so it looks like cifs would save some space.
If it simply a case of building the module and dropping it I wonder if anyone out there with a kernel build environment would be willing to oblige.

I've never done kernel/module compiling before. Should no-one respond I'm sure I'll get there.........slowly.

Would cifs also be capable of reading from/writing to a CD/DVD-RW like it can be done with UDF?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Disk_FormatThe Universal Disk Format (UDF) is a format specification of a file system for storing files on optical media.
from the link I provided in the pnethood thread
http://linux-cifs.samba.org/CIFS VFS - Advanced Common Internet File System for Linux
The CIFS VFS is a virtual file system for Linux to allow access to servers and storage appliances compliant with the SNIA CIFS Specification version 1.0 or later.
no connection........I think.

CIFS is usually used as a replacement for the samba-client to connect to Windows-based computers over a network. Windows itself offers SMB and CIFS, so both attempts should work.
Windows Server 2003 has some encryption options that make connections to such servers very hard - I do not have enough knowlegde to say, whether this problems can be solved or not.

Hey HW,
Just for kicks I grabbed the "kernel-src_301.sfs) several days ago, and ran a re-compile using the included ".config" file, and it produced all the modules, those that do/don't come w normal puppy.
The standard puppy install is missing several modules that I use regularly...cifs, hwmon, and some i2c stuff, that has forced me to use the 2.6.18.1 kernel/modules from puppy-2.15ce, but now, am able to use the 2.6.21.7 kernel w any module I please.
Borrowed a "/sbin/mount.cifs" executeable from a debian distro, loaded the proper module, pulled up rxvt, plugged in a few commands, and was accessing window shares, no sweat.
Just wanted folks aware that modules are available for puppy, at least the puppy-301.

black,
Thanks for that, this was what I was hoping. How big is the module? This can be put in the zdrv and smbmount should no longer be necessary in pup_xxx.sfs. I will ask Barry to include it in the next dingo alpha.

any chance of you PMing me the module rather than me having to build it myself.
cheers
