It
-is usually invoked indirectly by
-the <a href="mount.8.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">mount</span>(8)</span></a> 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.
- </p><p>
- The mount.cifs utility attaches the UNC name (exported network resource) to
- the local directory <span class="emphasis"><em>mount-point</em></span>. 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.
- </p><p>
- Options to <span class="emphasis"><em>mount.cifs</em></span> 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 supports them. If
-you get mount failures, check your kernel log for errors on
-unknown options.
- </p><p><span class="emphasis"><em>mount.cifs</em></span> is a daemon. After mounting it keeps running until
- the mounted resource is unmounted (usually via the umount utility)

- The variable <span class="emphasis"><em>USER</em></span> 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

- The variable <span class="emphasis"><em>PASSWD</em></span> 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.
- </p><p>
- The variable <span class="emphasis"><em>PASSWD_FILE</em></span> may contain the pathname
-of a file to read the password from. A single line of input is
-read and used as the password.
- </p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><h2>NOTES</h2><p>This command may be used only by root.</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><h2>CONFIGURATION</h2><p>
-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
-</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><h2>BUGS</h2><p>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.</p><p>The credentials file does not handle usernames or passwords with
- leading space.</p><p>
-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)
-</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><h2>VERSION</h2><p>This man page is correct for version 3.0 of
- the Samba suite.</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><h2>SEE ALSO</h2><p>
- Documentation/filesystems/cifs.txt and fs/cifs/README in the linux kernel
