+Original Author
+===============
+Steve French (sfrench@samba.org)
+
+The author wishes to express his appreciation and thanks to:
+Andrew Tridgell (Samba team) for his early suggestions about smb/cifs VFS
+improvements. Thanks to IBM for allowing me time and test resources to pursue
+this project, to Jim McDonough from IBM (and the Samba Team) for his help, to
+the IBM Linux JFS team for explaining many esoteric Linux filesystem features.
+Jeremy Allison of the Samba team has done invaluable work in adding the server
+side of the original CIFS Unix extensions and reviewing and implementing
+portions of the newer CIFS POSIX extensions into the Samba 3 file server. Thank
+Dave Boutcher of IBM Rochester (author of the OS/400 smb/cifs filesystem client)
+for proving years ago that very good smb/cifs clients could be done on Unix-like
+operating systems. Volker Lendecke, Andrew Tridgell, Urban Widmark, John
+Newbigin and others for their work on the Linux smbfs module. Thanks to
+the other members of the Storage Network Industry Association CIFS Technical
+Workgroup for their work specifying this highly complex protocol and finally
+thanks to the Samba team for their technical advice and encouragement.
