.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+
.PP
-\fBsmbmount\fR mounts a Linux SMB filesystem. It
-is usually invoked as \fBmount.smbfs\fR by
-the \fBmount\fR(8) command when using the
-"-t smbfs" option. This command only works in Linux, and the kernel must
-support the smbfs filesystem.
-.PP
-Options to \fBsmbmount\fR are specified as a comma-separated
-list of key=value pairs. It is possible to send options other
-than those listed here, assuming that smbfs supports them. If
-you get mount failures, check your kernel log for errors on
-unknown options.
-.PP
-\fBsmbmount\fR is a daemon. After mounting it keeps running until
-the mounted smbfs is umounted. It will log things that happen
-when in daemon mode using the "machine name" smbmount, so
-typically this output will end up in \fIlog.smbmount\fR. The \fB smbmount\fR process may also be called mount.smbfs.
-.PP
-\fBNOTE:\fR \fBsmbmount\fR
-calls \fBsmbmnt\fR(8) to do the actual mount. You
-must make sure that \fBsmbmnt\fR is in the path so
-that it can be found.

.SH "OPTIONS"

-\fBusername=<arg>\fR
-specifies the username to connect as. If
-this is not given, then the environment variable \fB USER\fR 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.
-.TP
-\fBpassword=<arg>\fR
-specifies the SMB password. If this
-option is not given then the environment variable
-\fBPASSWD\fR is used. If it can find
-no password \fBsmbmount\fR will prompt
-for a passeword, unless the guest option is
-given.
-
-Note that passwords which contain the argument delimiter
-character (i.e. a comma ',') will failed to be parsed correctly
-on the command line. However, the same password defined
-in the PASSWD environment variable or a credentials file (see
-below) will be read correctly.

-specifies a file that contains a username and/or password.
-The format of the file is:

-This is preferred over having passwords in plaintext in a

-credentials file properly.
-.TP
-\fBkrb\fR
-Use kerberos (Active Directory).
-.TP
-\fBnetbiosname=<arg>\fR
-sets the source NetBIOS name. It defaults
-to the local hostname.
-.TP
-\fBuid=<arg>\fR
-sets the uid that will own all files on
-the mounted filesystem.
-It may be specified as either a username or a numeric uid.
-.TP
-\fBgid=<arg>\fR
-sets the gid that will own all files on
-the mounted filesystem.
-It may be specified as either a groupname or a numeric
-gid.
-.TP
-\fBport=<arg>\fR
-sets the remote SMB port number. The default
-is 139.
-.TP
-\fBfmask=<arg>\fR
-sets the file mask. This determines the
-permissions that remote files have in the local filesystem.
-The default is based on the current umask.
-.TP
-\fBdmask=<arg>\fR
-Sets the directory mask. This determines the
-permissions that remote directories have in the local filesystem.
-The default is based on the current umask.
-.TP
-\fBdebug=<arg>\fR
-Sets the debug level. This is useful for
-tracking down SMB connection problems. A suggested value to
-start with is 4. If set too high there will be a lot of
-output, possibly hiding the useful output.
-.TP
-\fBip=<arg>\fR
-Sets the destination host or IP address.
-.TP
-\fBworkgroup=<arg>\fR
-Sets the workgroup on the destination
-.TP
-\fBsockopt=<arg>\fR
-Sets the TCP socket options. See the \fBsmb.conf\fR(5) \fIsocket options\fR option.

-Don't prompt for a password

-\fBro\fR
-mount read-only
-.TP
-\fBrw\fR
-mount read-write
-.TP
-\fBiocharset=<arg>\fR
-sets the charset used by the Linux side for codepage
-to charset translations (NLS). Argument should be the
-name of a charset, like iso8859-1. (Note: only kernel
-2.4.0 or later)
-.TP
-\fBcodepage=<arg>\fR
-sets the codepage the server uses. See the iocharset
-option. Example value cp850. (Note: only kernel 2.4.0
-or later)
-.TP
-\fBttl=<arg>\fR
-sets how long a directory listing is cached in milliseconds
-(also affects visibility of file size and date
-changes). A higher value means that changes on the
-server take longer to be noticed but it can give
-better performance on large directories, especially
-over long distances. Default is 1000ms but something
-like 10000ms (10 seconds) is probably more reasonable
-in many cases.
