22<h2>NAME</h2>
23    smbmount - mount an SMB filesystem
24<p><a name="SYNOPSIS"></a>
25<h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
26    
27<strong>smbmount</strong> service mountpoint [ -o options ]
28<p><a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
29<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
30    
31<p>smbmount mounts a SMB filesystem. It is usually invoked as mount.smbfs
32from the mount(8) command when using the "-t smbfs" option. The kernel
33must support the smbfs filesystem.
34<p>Options to smbmount are specified as a comma separated list of
35key=value pairs. 
36<p>NOTE: smbmount calls smbmnt to do the actual mount. You must make sure
37that smbmnt is in the path so that it can be found.
38<p><dl>
39<p></p><dt><strong><strong>username=&lt;arg&gt;</strong></strong><dd> specifies the username to connect as. If this is
40not given then the environment variable USER is used. This option can
41also take the form user%password or user/workgroup or
42user/workgroup%password to allow the password and workgroup to be
43specified as part of the username.
44<p><p></p><dt><strong><strong>password=&lt;arg&gt;</strong></strong><dd> specifies the SMB password. If not given then
45smbmount will prompt for a passeword, unless the guest option is
46given.
47<p><p></p><dt><strong><strong>netbiosname=&lt;arg&gt;</strong></strong><dd> sets the source NetBIOS name. It defaults to
48the local hostname.
49<p><p></p><dt><strong><strong>uid=&lt;arg&gt;</strong></strong><dd> sets the uid that files will be mounted as. It may be
50specified as either a username or a numeric uid.
51<p><p></p><dt><strong><strong>gid=&lt;arg&gt;</strong></strong><dd> sets the gid that files will be mounted as. It may be
52specified as either a groupname or a numeric gid.
53<p><p></p><dt><strong><strong>port=&lt;arg&gt;</strong></strong><dd> sets the remote SMB port number. The default is 139.
54<p><p></p><dt><strong><strong>fmask=&lt;arg&gt;</strong></strong><dd> sets the file mask. This deterines the permissions
55that remote files have in the local filesystem. The default is based
56on the current umask.
57<p><p></p><dt><strong><strong>dmask=&lt;arg&gt;</strong></strong><dd> sets the directory mask. This deterines the
58permissions that remote directories have in the local filesystem. The
59default is based on the current umask.
60<p><p></p><dt><strong><strong>debug=&lt;arg&gt;</strong></strong><dd> sets the debug level. This is useful for tracking
61down SMB connection problems.
62<p><p></p><dt><strong><strong>ip=&lt;arg&gt;</strong></strong><dd> sets the destination host or IP address.
63<p><p></p><dt><strong><strong>workgroup=&lt;arg&gt;</strong></strong><dd> sets the workgroup on the destination
64<p><p></p><dt><strong><strong>sockopt=&lt;arg&gt;</strong></strong><dd> sets the TCP socket options. See the smb.conf
65"socket options" option.
66<p><p></p><dt><strong><strong>scope=&lt;arg&gt;</strong></strong><dd> sets the NetBIOS scope
67<p><p></p><dt><strong><strong>guest</strong></strong><dd>    don't prompt for a password
