VFS_STREAMS_DEPOT(1M) System Administration tools VFS_STREAMS_DEPOT(1M)NAMEvfs_streams_depot - EXPERIMENTAL module to store alternate data streams
in a central directory.
SYNOPSIS
vfs objects = streams_depot
DESCRIPTION
This EXPERIMENTAL VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.
The vfs_streams_depot enables storing of NTFS alternate data streams in
the file system. As a normal posix file system does not support the
concept of multiple data streams per file, the streams_depot module
stores the data in files in a separate directory.
OPTIONS
streams_depot:directory = PATH
Path of the directory where the alternate data streams should be
stored. Defaults to the sharepath/.streams.
EXAMPLES
[share]
vfs objects = streams_depot
AUTHOR
The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.

NOTES
Source code for Samba is available in the SUNWsmbaS package.
Samba(7) delivers the set of four SMF(5) services as can be seen from
the following example:
$ svcs samba wins winbind swat
STATE STIME FMRI
disabled Apr_21 svc:/network/samba:default
disabled Apr_21 svc:/network/winbind:default
disabled Apr_21 svc:/network/wins:default
disabled Apr_21 svc:/network/swat:default
where the services are:
"samba"
runs the smbd daemon managing the CIFS sessions
"wins"
runs the nmbd daemon enabling the browsing (WINS)
"winbind"
runs the winbindd daemon making the domain idmap
"swat"
Samba Web Administration Tool is a service providing access to
browser-based Samba administration interface and on-line
documentation. The service runs on software loopback network
interface on port 901/tcp, i.e. opening "http://localhost:901/" in
browser will access the SWAT service on local machine.
Please note: SWAT uses HTTP Basic Authentication scheme where user name
and passwords are sent over the network in clear text. In the SWAT case
the user name is root. Transferring such sensitive data is advisable
only on the software loopback network interface or over secure
networks.
