SMBMNT(8)             MAINTENANCE COMMANDS              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>] [-h]

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.

     -r mount the filesystem read-only

     -u uid

     -d mask

     -o options
