- <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
-
- <para><command>smbmount</command> mounts a Linux SMB filesystem. It
- is usually invoked as <command>mount.smbfs</command> by
- the <command>mount(8)</command> command when using the
- "-t smbfs" option. This command only works in Linux, and the kernel must
- support the smbfs filesystem. </para>
-
- <para>Options to <command>smbmount</command> 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.</para>
-
- <para><command>smbmount</command> 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 <filename>log.smbmount</filename>. The
- <command>smbmount</command> process may also be called mount.smbfs.</para>
-
- <para><emphasis>NOTE:</emphasis> <command>smbmount</command>
- calls <command>smbmnt(8)</command> to do the actual mount. You
- must make sure that <command>smbmnt</command> is in the path so
- that it can be found. </para>

-
- <variablelist>
- <varlistentry>
- <term>username=&lt;arg&gt;</term>
- <listitem><para>specifies the username to connect as. If
- this is not given, then the environment variable <envar>
- USER</envar> 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></listitem>
- </varlistentry>
-
- <varlistentry>
- <term>password=&lt;arg&gt;</term>
- <listitem><para>specifies the SMB password. If this
- option is not given then the environment variable
- <envar>PASSWD</envar> is used. If it can find
- no password <command>smbmount</command> will prompt
- for a passeword, unless the guest option is
- given. </para>
-
- <para>
- 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.
- </para>
- </listitem>
- </varlistentry>
-
- <varlistentry>
- <term>credentials=&lt;filename&gt;</term>
- <listitem><para>specifies a file that contains a username

-
- <para>
- <programlisting>
- username = &lt;value&gt;
- password = &lt;value&gt;
- </programlisting>
- </para>
-
- <para>This is preferred over having passwords in plaintext in a
- shared file, such as <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>. Be sure to protect any
- credentials file properly.

- <varlistentry>

-
-
- <varlistentry>
- <term>dmask=&lt;arg&gt;</term>
- <listitem><para>sets the directory mask. This determines the

-
-
- <varlistentry>
- <term>debug=&lt;arg&gt;</term>
- <listitem><para>sets the debug level. This is useful for

- <term>iocharset=&lt;arg&gt;</term>
- <listitem><para>
- 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)
- </para></listitem>
- </varlistentry>
-
- <varlistentry>
- <term>codepage=&lt;arg&gt;</term>
- <listitem><para>

- option. Example value cp850. (Note: only kernel 2.4.0
- or later)
- </para></listitem>

-
- <varlistentry>
- <term>ttl=&lt;arg&gt;</term>
- <listitem><para>
- 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.

- <title>ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES</title>
-
- <para>The variable <envar>USER</envar> may contain the username of the
- person using the client. This information is used only if the
- protocol level is high enough to support session-level
- passwords. The variable can be used to set both username and
- password by using the format username%password.</para>
-
- <para>The variable <envar>PASSWD</envar> may contain the password of the
- person using the client. This information is used only if the
- protocol level is high enough to support session-level
- passwords.</para>
-
- <para>The variable <envar>PASSWD_FILE</envar> may contain the pathname
- of a file to read the password from. A single line of input is
- read and used as the password.</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>One smbfs bug is important enough to mention here, even if it
- is a bit misplaced:</para>
-
- <itemizedlist>
-
- <listitem><para>Mounts sometimes stop working. This is usually
- caused by smbmount terminating. Since smbfs needs smbmount to
- reconnect when the server disconnects, the mount will eventually go
- dead. An umount/mount normally fixes this. At least 2 ways to
- trigger this bug are known.</para></listitem>
-
- </itemizedlist>
-
- <para>Note that the typical response to a bug report is 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: samba, kernel, distribution)</para>

- <para>For Solaris, HP-UX and others you may want to look at

- a NFS server.</para>
