smbmnt - helper utility for mounting SMB filesystems

smbmnt mount-point [ -s share ] [ -r ] [ -u uid ] [ -g gid ] [ -f mask ] [ -d mask ]

smbmnt is a helper application used by the smbmount program to do the actual mounting of SMB shares. smbmnt is meant to be installed setuid root so that normal users can mount their smb shares. It checks whether the user has write permissions on the mount point and then mounts the directory.

The smbmnt program is normally invoked by smbmount. It should not be invoked directly by users.
