CIFS Client Alpha Now Available!

Our CIFS Client project team just reached a great milestone yesterday evening, delivering our Alpha code drop to Open Solaris! You can download the packages from:

http://opensolaris.org/os/project/smbfs/

There's assiciated release notes that you should check out when downloading this code.

The CIFS Client allows Solaris to natively mount a CIFS share from Windows, Samba, or any other server exporting CIFS shares. Once mounted on Solaris, the files and directores are accessed through standard Solaris I/O interfaces just like any other file system. The Alpha drop provides read-only access to the data, but writes and other capabilities are coming very soon.

We encourage you to download it, and send feedback to smbfs-discuss@opensolaris.org.
