Over beer last night I learned that the first code drop of our native OpenSolaris CIFS client was scheduled for release today. OpenSolaris can now access files on file servers that speak the Microsoft CIFS protocol (SMB).

Great job Rob, Mark, Pavan and crew!

This CIFS client project is a nice complement to the OpenSolaris Winchester project which enables OpenSolaris to operate in a native Active Directory (AD) environment.
 

Oh... the beer? Laughing Lab Scottish Ale. A great beer from Colorado Spring's Bristol Brewing Company.
