smbmnt

SMBMNT(8)																 SMBMNT(8)

NAME

       smbmnt - helper utility for mounting SMB filesystems

SYNOPSIS

       smbmnt mount-point [ -s <share> ]  [ -r ]  [ -u <uid> ]	[ -g <gid> ]  [ -f <mask> ]  [ -d <mask> ]  [ -o <options> ]

DESCRIPTION

       smbmnt  is  a helper application used by the smbmount program to do the actual mounting of SMB shares.  smbmnt can be installed setuid root
       if you want normal users to be able to mount their SMB shares.

       A setuid smbmnt will only allow mounts on directories owned by the user, and that the user has write permission on.

       The smbmnt program is normally invoked by smbmount(8)
	It should not be invoked directly by users.

       smbmount searches the normal PATH for smbmnt. You must ensure that the smbmnt version in your path matches the smbmount used.

OPTIONS

       -r     mount the filesystem read-only

       -u uid specify the uid that the files will be owned by

       -g gid specify the gid that the files will be owned by

       -f mask
	      specify the octal file mask applied

       -d mask
	      specify the octal directory mask applied

       -o options
	      list of options that are passed as-is to smbfs, if this command is run on a 2.4 or higher Linux kernel.
