Ian Lepore 69ba629255 Avoid unaligned memory accesses when encoding netbios names in libsmb. The current code for encoding a netbios name converts each byte to a 16-bit value and stores the result by casting a char* to u_short*, resulting in alignment faults on strict-alignment platforms. This change reimplements the encoding routine using only byte accesses to memory. There is no particular reason to work with 16-bit values just because the encoding process creates two bytes of output for every byte of input. Working a byte at at time also avoids endian problems for big-endian platforms. PR: 180438 PR: 189415 Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D4622		2015-12-21 17:17:00 +00:00

    SMB/CIFS protocol and SMB/CIFS file system implementation
		for FreeBSD, version 1.4.
    
    This is native SMB/CIFS filesystem (smbfs for short) for FreeBSD.
It is a complete, kernel side implementation of SMB requester and filesystem.

    Supported platform		Comment
	FreeBSD 4.X		Port

	FreeBSD 4.5		Everything available in the base system.

	FreeBSD-current		Everything available in the base system.

	Darwin			maintained in the Darwin's  tree.

    I would be very grateful for any feedback, bug reports etc.

    Supported SMB servers:
	Samba
	Windows 95/98/ME/2000/NT4.0 (SPs 4, 5, 6)
	IBM LanManager
	NetApp

    An updated version of this package can be retrieved from ftp server:
