CIFS proxy using VFS

[Chris Miller]

Hi,

I asked a question back in Jan about getting vfs_cifs proxy working (in the NTVFS codebase). I did get it working, also using kerberos forwarding and was interested to know if it would be feasible/possible to write a similar proxy module in the normal vfs codebase/style without the NTVFS codebase.

My question, if it is feasible to build an SMB/SMB2 proxy in vfs, is it possible to use the same S42UProxy forwarding mechanism that was used in the original vfs_cifs? is support already available for this in the other codebase?


Many Thanks

Chris
