  3. Steve French (sfrench@samba.org)
  4. The author wishes to express his appreciation and thanks to:
  5. Andrew Tridgell (Samba team) for his early suggestions about smb/cifs VFS
  6. improvements. Thanks to IBM for allowing me time and test resources to pursue
  7. this project, to Jim McDonough from IBM (and the Samba Team) for his help, to
  8. the IBM Linux JFS team for explaining many esoteric Linux filesystem features.
  9. Jeremy Allison of the Samba team has done invaluable work in adding the server
  10. side of the original CIFS Unix extensions and reviewing and implementing
  11. portions of the newer CIFS POSIX extensions into the Samba 3 file server. Thank
  12. Dave Boutcher of IBM Rochester (author of the OS/400 smb/cifs filesystem client)
  13. for proving years ago that very good smb/cifs clients could be done on Unix-like
  14. operating systems. Volker Lendecke, Andrew Tridgell, Urban Widmark, John
  15. Newbigin and others for their work on the Linux smbfs module. Thanks to
  16. the other members of the Storage Network Industry Association CIFS Technical
  17. Workgroup for their work specifying this highly complex protocol and finally
  18. thanks to the Samba team for their technical advice and encouragement.
