NAME
     nsmb -- kernel SMB protocol communicator

SYNOPSIS
     pseudo-device nsmb

DESCRIPTION
     This virtual device is used by SMBFS filesystem for actual communication with SMB servers.  It provides the physical transportation, encapsu-
     lating the networking part of SMBFS.  Only SMB over TCP/IP is supported at this moment, SMB over NetBIOS is not supported.

     For the SMBFS kernel support to work, it's necessary to have both this pseudo-device and file-system SMBFS configured into kernel.

SEE ALSO
     mount_smbfs(8)

HISTORY
     This driver first appeared in FreeBSD 4.4.  In NetBSD, this first appeared in NetBSD 2.0, together with rest of SMBFS support.
