Samba 3.5.0: Initial import

| 1 | This is the base of the new NTVFS subsystem for Samba. The model for
|
|---|
| 2 | NTVFS backends is quite different than for the older style VFS
|
|---|
| 3 | backends, in particular:
|
|---|
| 4 |
|
|---|
| 5 | - the NTVFS backends receive windows style file names, although they
|
|---|
| 6 | are in the unix charset (usually UTF8). This means the backend is
|
|---|
| 7 | responsible for mapping windows filename conventions to unix
|
|---|
| 8 | filename conventions if necessary
|
|---|
| 9 |
|
|---|
| 10 | - the NTVFS backends are responsible for changing effective UID before
|
|---|
| 11 | calling any OS local filesystem operations (if needed). The
|
|---|
| 12 | become_*() functions are provided to make this easier.
|
|---|
| 13 |
|
|---|
| 14 | - the NTVFS backends are responsible for resolving DFS paths
|
|---|
| 15 |
|
|---|
| 16 | - each NTVFS backend handles either disk, printer or IPC$ shares,
|
|---|
| 17 | rather than one backend handling all types
|
|---|
| 18 |
|
|---|
| 19 | - the entry points of the NTVFS backends correspond closely with basic
|
|---|
| 20 | SMB operations, wheres the old VFS was modelled directly on the
|
|---|
| 21 | POSIX filesystem interface.
|
|---|
| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 | - the NTVFS backends are responsible for all semantic mappings, such
|
|---|
| 24 | as mapping dos file attributes, ACLs, file ownership and file times
|
