Hi.

Abstract: The FreeBSD SMB (client) filesystem support is based on the
smbfs package, which hasn't been properly updated. The two goals of
the project are: a) making it MPSAFE, and b) merging back the Apple's
Darwin code improvements.

* The smbfs2 branch has been created, with the purpose of hosting the
(severely modified) smbfs implementation of Darwin. The rationale
behind is that the last version of our package was 1.4.5. and this new
smbfs for FreeBSD will be an alternative implementation, not a direct
replacement.
* Dissection of current implementation goes on.

Regards,
Walter Artica.
