+.TH SMBMOUNT 8 01/05/1998 smbmount smbmount
+.SH NAME
+smbmount \- mount smb file system
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B smbmount
+[
+.B options
+]
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B smbmount
+is a stripped down smbclient program. It only contains the mount
+command that itself calls the
+.B smbmnt(8)
+program to do the actual mount.
+.B smbmount
+itself accepts nearly the same options as
+.B smbclient(1)
+does. See the smbclient manpage for details.
+
+To mount an smb file system I suggest to use the option
+.B -c
+for smbclient. For example, use
+
+smbmount "\\\\server\\tmp" -c 'mount /mnt -u 123 -g 456'
+
+to mount the tmp share of server on /mnt, giving it a local uid 123
+and a local gid 456.
