SMBUMOUNT(8) SMBUMOUNT(8)
NAME
smbumount - smbfs umount for normal users
SYNOPSIS
smbumount mount-point
DESCRIPTION
With this program, normal users can unmount smb-filesystems, provided that it is suid root. smbumount has been written to give normal Linux
users more control over their resources. It is safe to install this program suid root, because only the user who has mounted a filesystem
is allowed to unmount it again. For root it is not necessary to use smbumount. The normal umount program works perfectly well, but it
would certainly be problematic to make umount setuid root.
OPTIONS
mount-point
The directory to unmount.
