NAME

     mount_smbfs -- mount a shared resource from an SMB file server

SYNOPSIS

     mount_smbfs [-N] [-o options] [-d mode] [-f mode] [-h] [-s] [-v] //[domain;][user[:password]@]server[/share] path

DESCRIPTION

     The mount_smbfs command mounts a share from a remote server using SMB/CIFS protocol.

     The options are as follows:

     -N      Do not ask for a password.  At run time, mount_smbfs reads the ~/Library/Preferences/nsmb.conf file for additional configuration
	     parameters and a password.  If no password is found, mount_smbfs prompts for it.

     -o      Options passed to mount(2) are specified with the -o option followed by a comma separated string of options. See the mount(8) man
	     page for possible options and their meanings. Additional options supported by the mount_smbfs are as follows:

	     nobrowse
		     Indicate to the Carbon subsystem that this volume is not to be displayed to the user.

	     automounted
		     Set flags on the mountpoint to indicate that the volume has been mounted by the automounter.

	     nostreams
		     Don't use NTFS Streams even if they are supported by the server.

	     soft    Make the mount soft.  Fail file system calls after a number of seconds.

	     nonotification
		     Turn off using notifications for this volume.

     -f mode, -d mode
	     Specify permissions that should be assigned to files and directories.  The values must be specified as octal numbers.  Default value
	     for the file mode is taken from mount point, default value for the directory mode adds execute permission where the file mode gives
	     read permission.

	     Note that these permissions can differ from the rights granted by SMB server.

     -h      Prints a help message, much like the SYNOPSIS above.

     -s      Force a new session to be created to the server.

     -v      Prints version.

     //[domain;][user[:password]@] server[/share]
	     The mount_smbfs command will use server as the NetBIOS name of remote computer, user as the remote user name and share as the
	     resource name on a remote server.	Domain and/or password may be specified here.  If user is omitted the logged in user id will be
	     used.  Omitting share is an error when mount_smbfs is run from the command line, otherwise a browsing dialogue is presented.

     path    Path to mount point.

FILES

     nsmb.conf	Keeps static parameters for connections and other information.	See man nsmb.conf for details.

EXAMPLES

     This example shows the proper url to use to mount the share PUBLIC from the SMB server myserver :

	   mkdir /smb/public
	   mount -t smbfs //username:userpass@myserver/PUBLIC /smb/public

     This example shows the proper url to use to mount the share PUBLIC from the SMB server myserver as guest:

	   mkdir /smb/public
	   mount -t smbfs //guest:@myserver/PUBLIC /smb/public
     Note: You should always use the system mount command and never call mount_smbfs directly.

MOUNT_SMBFS(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					    MOUNT_SMBFS(8)

NAME

     mount_smbfs -- mount a shared resource from an SMB/CIFS file server

SYNOPSIS

     mount_smbfs [-E cs1:cs2] [-I host] [-L locale] [-M crights:srights] [-N] [-O cowner:cgroup/sowner:sgroup] [-R retrycount] [-T timeout]
		 [-W workgroup] [-c case] [-d mode] [-f mode] [-g gid] [-n opt] [-u uid] //user@server/share node

DESCRIPTION

     The mount_smbfs command mounts a share from a remote server using SMB/CIFS protocol.

     The options are as follows:

     -E cs1:cs2
	     Specifies local (cs1) and server's (cs2) character sets.

     -I host
	     Do not use NetBIOS name resolver and connect directly to host, which can be either a valid DNS name or an IP address.

     -L locale
	     Use locale for lower/upper case conversion routines.  Set the locale for case conversion.	By default, mount_smbfs tries to use an
	     environment variable LC_* to determine it.

     -M crights:srights
	     Assign access rights to the newly created connection.

     -N      Do not ask for a password.  At run time, mount_smbfs reads the ~/.nsmbrc file for additional configuration parameters and a password.
	     If no password is found, mount_smbfs prompts for it.

     -O cowner:cgroup/sowner:sgroup
	     Assign owner/group attributes to the newly created connection.

     -R retrycount
	     How many retries should be done before the SMB requester decides to drop the connection.

     -T timeout
	     Timeout in seconds for each request.

     -W workgroup
	     This option specifies the workgroup to be used in the authentication request.

     -c case
	     Set a case option which affects name representation.  case can be one of the following:

	     Value  Meaning

	     l	    All existing file names are converted to lower case.  Newly created file gets a lower case.

	     u	    All existing file names are converted to upper case.  Newly created file gets an upper case.

     -f mode, -d mode
	     Specify permissions that should be assigned to files and directories.  The values must be specified as octal numbers.  Default value
	     for the file mode is taken from mount point, default value for the directory mode adds execute permission where the file mode gives
	     read permission.

	     Note that these permissions can differ from the rights granted by SMB server.

     -u uid, -g gid
	     User ID and group ID assigned to files.  The default are owner and group IDs from the directory where the volume is mounted.

     //user@server/share
	     The mount_smbfs command will use server as the NetBIOS name of remote computer, user as the remote user name and share as the
	     resource name on a remote server.	If your connections are refused, try using the -I option and use a server name of '*SMBSERVER'.

     node    Path to mount point.

FILES

     /etc/nsmb.conf   System wide parameters for smbfs mounts.
     ~/.nsmbrc	      Keeps static parameters for connections and other information.  See /usr/share/examples/smbfs/dot.nsmbrc for details.

EXAMPLES

     The following example illustrates how to connect to SMB server SAMBA as user GUEST, and mount shares PUBLIC and TMP:

	   mount_smbfs -I samba.mydomain.com //guest@samba/public /smb/public
	   mount_smbfs -I 192.168.20.3 -E koi8-r:cp866 //guest@samba/tmp /smb/tmp

     If you keep on getting "Connection reset by peer" errors, try:

	   mount_smbfs -N -I 10.0.0.4 //'*SMBSERVER'/tmp /smb/tmp

     It is possible to use fstab(5) for smbfs mounts:

	   //guest@samba/public    /smb/public	   smbfs  rw,noauto 0	0
