5.2.1 About CIFS File Services in OES 2

Starting with OES 2 SP2, the CIFS file services that were previously available only on NetWare
through the Native File Access Protocols (NFAP) service have now been ported to OES as Novell
CIFS.
The Novell CIFS service lets users on Windows workstations access and store files on OES 2 SP2
servers with NSS volumes without installing any additional software, such as the Novell Client (see
Figure 5-2).
