+	<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+
+	<para>This tool is part of the <citerefentry><refentrytitle>Samba</refentrytitle>
+	<manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> suite.</para>
+
+	<para>mount.cifs mounts a Linux CIFS filesystem. It
+is usually invoked indirectly by
+the <citerefentry><refentrytitle>mount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> command when using the 
+"-t cifs" option. This command only works in Linux, and the kernel must
+support the cifs filesystem. The CIFS protocol is the successor to the 
+SMB protocol and is supported by most Windows servers and many other
+commercial servers and Network Attached Storage appliances as well as 
+by the popular Open Source server Samba.
+	</para>
+
+	<para>
+	The mount.cifs utility attaches the UNC name (exported network resource) to
+	the local directory <emphasis>mount-point</emphasis>. It is possible to set the mode for mount.cifs to 
+setuid root to allow non-root users to mount shares to directories for which they
+have write permission.
+	</para>
+
+	<para>
+		Options to <emphasis>mount.cifs</emphasis> are specified as a comma-separated
+list of key=value pairs. It is possible to send options other
+than those listed here, assuming that cifs filesystem supports them.   
+Unrecognized cifs mount options passed to the cifs vfs kernel code will be logged to the
+kernel log.
+
+	</para>
+
+	<para><emphasis>mount.cifs</emphasis> causes the cifs vfs to launch a thread named cifsd. After mounting it keeps running until
+		the mounted resource is unmounted (usually via the umount utility).

+
+		<listitem><para>specifies the username to connect as. If
+				this is not given, then the environment variable <emphasis>USER</emphasis> 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.
+		</para>
+
+<note>
+	<para>
+	The cifs vfs accepts the parameter <parameter>user=</parameter>, or for users familiar with smbfs it accepts the longer form of the parameter <parameter>username=</parameter>.  Similarly the longer smbfs style parameter names may be accepted as synonyms for the shorter cifs parameters <parameter>pass=</parameter>,<parameter>dom=</parameter> and <parameter>cred=</parameter>.

+for a password, unless the guest option is specified.
+</para>
+
+<para>Note that a password which contains the delimiter
+character (i.e. a comma ',') will fail to be parsed correctly
+on the command line.  However, the same password defined

+	<title>CONFIGURATION</title>
+		<para>
+The primary mechanism for making configuration changes and for reading 
+debug information for the cifs vfs is via the Linux /proc filesystem.
+In the directory /proc/fs/cifs are various configuration files and
+pseudo files which can display debug information.  For more
+information see the kernel file fs/cifs/README
+</para>
+</refsect1>
+
+<refsect1>
+	<title>BUGS</title>
+
+	<para>Passwords and other options containing , can not be handled.
+For passwords an alternative way of passing them is in a credentials
+file or in the PASSWD environment.</para>
+
+	<para>The credentials file does not handle usernames or passwords with
+		leading space.</para>
+
+	<para>
+Note that the typical response to a bug report is a suggestion
+to try the latest version first. So please try doing that first,
+and always include which versions you use of relevant software
+when reporting bugs (minimum: mount.cifs (try mount.cifs -V), kernel (see /proc/version) and
+server type you are trying to contact.
