NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

smbmount mounts a SMB filesystem. It is usually invoked as mount.smbfs from the mount(8) command when using the "-t smb" option. The kernel must support the smbfs filesystem.

Options to smbmount are specified as a comma separated list of key=value pairs.

NOTE: smbmount calls smbmnt to do the actual mount. You must make sure that smbmnt is in the path so that it can be found.

username=<arg>

specifies the username to connect as. If this is not given then the environment variable USER is used. This option can also take the form user%password or user/workgroup or user/workgroup%password to allow the password and workgroup to be specified as part of the username.

password=<arg>

specifies the SMB password. If not given then smbmount will prompt for a passeword, unless the guest option is given.

netbiosname=<arg>

sets the source NetBIOS name. It defaults to the local hostname.

uid=<arg>

sets the uid that files will be mounted as. It may be specified as either a username or a numeric uid.

sets the gid that files will be mounted as. It may be specified as either a groupname or a numeric gid.

port=<arg>

sets the remote SMB port number. The default is 139.

fmask=<arg>

sets the file mask. This deterines the permissions that remote files have in the local filesystem. The default is based on the current umask.

dmask=<arg>

sets the directory mask. This deterines the permissions that remote directories have in the local filesystem. The default is based on the current umask.
