With -.B -u -and -.B -g -you can tell smbmount which id's it should assign to the files in the -mounted directory. - -The defaults for these values are the current uid and gid. -.RE - -.B -f -.I file mode, -.B -d -.I dir mode -.RS 3 -Like -.B -u -and -.B -g, -these options are also used to bridge differences in concepts between -Lan Manager and Unix. Lan Manager does not know anything about file -permissions, so -.B smbmnt -must be told which permissions it should assign to the mounted files -and directories. - -The values must be given as octal numbers. The default values are taken -from the current umask, where the file mode is the current umask, -and the dir mode adds execute permissions where the file mode gives -read permissions. - -Note that these permissions can differ from the rights the server -gives to us. If you do not have write permissions on the server, -you should choose a file mode that matches your actual permissions. -This certainly cannot override the restrictions imposed by the server. - -In addition to specifying the file mode, the -.B -f -argument can be used to specify certain bug-fix workarounds. -This allows bug fixes to be enabled on a per mount-point basis, -rather than being compiled into the kernel. -The required bug fixes are specified by prepending an (octal) value -to the file mode. -For information on the available bug workarounds, refer to the -.B smbfs.txt -file in the Linux kernel Documentation directory. -.RE - -.SH SEE ALSO -.B smbmount(8) - +.TH "smbmnt " "1" "25 September 1999" "Samba" "SAMBA" +.PP +.SH "NAME" +smbmnt \- helper utility for mounting SMB filesystems +.PP +.SH "SYNOPSIS" +\fBsmbmnt\fP mount-point [ -s share ] [ -r ] [ -u uid ] [ -g gid ] [ -f mask ] [ -d mask ] +.PP +.SH "DESCRIPTION" +.PP +smbmnt is a helper application used by the smbmount program to do the +actual mounting of SMB shares\&. smbmnt is meant to be installed setuid +root so that normal users can mount their smb shares\&.
