bf(smbmount) service mountpoint [ -o options ]
label(DESCRIPTION)
manpagedescription()
smbmount mounts a SMB filesystem. It is usually invoked as mount.smbfs
from the mount(8) command when using the "-t smbfs" 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.
startdit()
dit(bf(username=)) 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.
dit(bf(password=)) specifies the SMB password. If not given then
smbmount will prompt for a passeword, unless the guest option is
given.
dit(bf(netbiosname=)) sets the source NetBIOS name. It defaults to
the local hostname.
dit(bf(uid=)) sets the uid that files will be mounted as. It may be
specified as either a username or a numeric uid.
dit(bf(gid=)) sets the gid that files will be mounted as. It may be
specified as either a groupname or a numeric gid.
dit(bf(port=)) sets the remote SMB port number. The default is 139.
dit(bf(fmask=)) sets the file mask. This deterines the permissions
that remote files have in the local filesystem. The default is based
on the current umask.
dit(bf(dmask=)) sets the directory mask. This deterines the
permissions that remote directories have in the local filesystem. The
default is based on the current umask.
dit(bf(debug=)) sets the debug level. This is useful for tracking
down SMB connection problems.
dit(bf(ip=)) sets the destination host or IP address.
dit(bf(workgroup=)) sets the workgroup on the destination
dit(bf(sockopt=)) sets the TCP socket options. See the smb.conf
"socket options" option.
