14
15smbmount mounts a SMB filesystem. It is usually invoked as mount.smbfs
16from the mount(8) command when using the "-t smbfs" option. The kernel
17must support the smbfs filesystem.
18
19Options to smbmount are specified as a comma separated list of
20key=value pairs. 
21
22NOTE: smbmount calls smbmnt to do the actual mount. You must make sure
23that smbmnt is in the path so that it can be found.

25startdit()
26dit(bf(username=<arg>)) specifies the username to connect as. If this is
27not given then the environment variable USER is used. This option can
28also take the form user%password or user/workgroup or
29user/workgroup%password to allow the password and workgroup to be
30specified as part of the username.
31
32dit(bf(password=<arg>)) specifies the SMB password. If not given then
33smbmount will prompt for a passeword, unless the guest option is
34given.
35
36dit(bf(netbiosname=<arg>)) sets the source NetBIOS name. It defaults to
37the local hostname.
38
39dit(bf(uid=<arg>)) sets the uid that files will be mounted as. It may be
40specified as either a username or a numeric uid.

48that remote files have in the local filesystem. The default is based
49on the current umask.
50
51dit(bf(dmask=<arg>)) sets the directory mask. This deterines the
52permissions that remote directories have in the local filesystem. The
53default is based on the current umask.

56down SMB connection problems.

58dit(bf(ip=<arg>)) sets the destination host or IP address.
59
60dit(bf(workgroup=<arg>)) sets the workgroup on the destination
