3 smbmnt \- mount smb file system
23 is a helper application used by the
25 program to do the actual mounting.
27 is meant to be installed setuid root so that normal users can mount
28 their smb shares. It checks whether the user has write permissions
29 on the mount point and then mounts the directory.
33 program is normally invoked by a mount command to
35 and the command line arguments are passed directly to
44 A Lan Manager server does not tell us anything about the owner of a
45 file, but Unix requires that each file have an owner and a group it belongs
50 you can tell smbmount which id's it should assign to the files in the
53 The defaults for these values are the current uid and gid.
65 these options are also used to bridge differences in concepts between
66 Lan Manager and Unix. Lan Manager does not know anything about file
69 must be told which permissions it should assign to the mounted files
72 The values must be given as octal numbers. The default values are taken
73 from the current umask, where the file mode is the current umask,
74 and the dir mode adds execute permissions where the file mode gives
77 Note that these permissions can differ from the rights the server
78 gives to us. If you do not have write permissions on the server,
79 you should choose a file mode that matches your actual permissions.
80 This certainly cannot override the restrictions imposed by the server.
82 In addition to specifying the file mode, the
84 argument can be used to specify certain bug-fix workarounds.
85 This allows bug fixes to be enabled on a per mount-point basis,
86 rather than being compiled into the kernel.
87 The required bug fixes are specified by prepending an (octal) value
