- Original Author
- ===============
- Steve French (sfrench@samba.org)
- The author wishes to express his appreciation and thanks to:
- Andrew Tridgell (Samba team) for his early suggestions about smb/cifs VFS
- improvements. Thanks to IBM for allowing me time and test resources to pursue
- this project, to Jim McDonough from IBM (and the Samba Team) for his help, to
- the IBM Linux JFS team for explaining many esoteric Linux filesystem features.
- Jeremy Allison of the Samba team has done invaluable work in adding the server
- side of the original CIFS Unix extensions and reviewing and implementing
- portions of the newer CIFS POSIX extensions into the Samba 3 file server. Thank
- Dave Boutcher of IBM Rochester (author of the OS/400 smb/cifs filesystem client)
- for proving years ago that very good smb/cifs clients could be done on Unix-like
- operating systems. Volker Lendecke, Andrew Tridgell, Urban Widmark, John
- Newbigin and others for their work on the Linux smbfs module. Thanks to
- the other members of the Storage Network Industry Association CIFS Technical
- Workgroup for their work specifying this highly complex protocol and finally
- thanks to the Samba team for their technical advice and encouragement.
