A Partial List of Missing Features
==================================
d) Kerberos/SPNEGO session setup support - (started)
-e) NTLMv2 authentication (mostly implemented)
+e) NTLMv2 authentication (mostly implemented - double check
+that NTLMv2 signing works, also need to cleanup now unneeded SessSetup code in
+fs/cifs/connect.c)
f) MD5-HMAC signing SMB PDUs when SPNEGO style SessionSetup
used (Kerberos or NTLMSSP). Signing alreadyimplemented for NTLM
at a time when 8 pages or more are requested. In conjuntion
add support for async_cifs_readpages.
-p) Add support for storing symlink and fifo info to Windows servers
+p) Add support for storing symlink info to Windows servers
in the Extended Attribute format their SFU clients would recognize.
q) Finish fcntl D_NOTIFY support so kde and gnome file list windows
time to the client (default time, of now or time 0 is used now for these
very old servers)
-x) Add support for OS/2 (LANMAN 1.2 and LANMAN2.1 based SMB servers)
+x) In support for OS/2 (LANMAN 1.2 and LANMAN2.1 based SMB servers)
+need to add ability to set time to server (utimes command)
y) Finish testing of Windows 9x/Windows ME server support (started).

See http://bugzilla.samba.org - search on product "CifsVFS" for
current bug list.
succeed but still return access denied (appears to be Windows
server not cifs client problem) and has not been reproduced recently.
NTFS partitions do not have this problem.
-4) debug connectathon lock test case 10 which fails against
-Samba (may be unmappable due to POSIX to Windows lock model
-differences but worth investigating). Also debug Samba to
-see why lock test case 7 takes longer to complete to Samba
-than to Windows.
Misc testing to do
==================
types. Try nested symlinks (8 deep). Return max path name in stat -f information
2) Modify file portion of ltp so it can run against a mounted network
-share and run it against cifs vfs.
+share and run it against cifs vfs in automated fashion.
3) Additional performance testing and optimization using iozone and similar -
there are some easy changes that can be done to parallelize sequential writes,
4) More exhaustively test against less common servers. More testing
against Windows 9x, Windows ME servers.

+DOS attrs - returned as pseudo-xattr in Samba format (check VFAT and NTFS for this too)
+
+mount check for unmatched uids - and uid override
+
+Add mount option for Linux extension disable per mount, and partial disable per mount (uid off, symlink/fifo/mknod on but what about posix acls?)

+Free threads at umount --force that are stuck on the sesSem
