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\&. + +.RS +.Sh "Note" + +.PP + \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\&. + +.RE + +.SH "OPTIONS" + +.TP +username=<arg> +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 +password=<arg> +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\&. + + +.TP +credentials=<filename> +specifies a file that contains a username and/or password\&. +The format of the file is: +.nf + +username = <value> +password = <value> +.fi + + +This is preferred over having passwords in plaintext in a shared file, such as \fI/etc/fstab\fR\&. Be sure to protect any credentials file properly\&. + + +.TP +krb +Use kerberos (Active Directory)\&. + + +.TP +netbiosname=<arg> +sets the source NetBIOS name\&. It defaults to the local hostname\&. + + +.TP +uid=<arg> +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 +gid=<arg> +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 +port=<arg> +sets the remote SMB port number\&. The default is 139\&. + + +.TP +fmask=<arg> +sets the file mask\&. This determines the permissions that remote files have in the local filesystem\&. This is not a umask, but the actual permissions for the files\&. The default is based on the current umask\&. + + +.TP +dmask=<arg> +Sets the directory mask\&. This determines the permissions that remote directories have in the local filesystem\&. This is not a umask, but the actual permissions for the directories\&. The default is based on the current umask\&. + + +.TP +debug=<arg> +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 +ip=<arg> +Sets the destination host or IP address\&. + + +.TP +workgroup=<arg> +Sets the workgroup on the destination + + +.TP +sockopt=<arg> +Sets the TCP socket options\&. See the \fBsmb.conf\fR(5) \fIsocket options\fR option\&. + + +.TP +scope=<arg> +Sets the NetBIOS scope + + +.TP +guest +Don't prompt for a password + + +.TP +ro +mount read-only + + +.TP +rw +mount read-write + + +.TP +iocharset=<arg> +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 +codepage=<arg> +sets the codepage the server uses\&. See the iocharset option\&. Example value cp850\&. (Note: only kernel 2\&.4\&.0 or later) + + +.TP +ttl=<arg> +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\&. (Note: only kernel 2\&.4\&.2 or later) + + +.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES" + +.PP +The variable \fBUSER\fR 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\&. + +.PP +The variable \fBPASSWD\fR 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\&. + +.PP +The variable \fBPASSWD_FILE\fR may contain the pathname of a file to read the password from\&. A single line of input is read and used as the password\&. + +.SH "BUGS" + +.PP +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\&. + +.PP +The credentials file does not handle usernames or passwords with leading space\&. + +.PP +One smbfs bug is important enough to mention here, even if it is a bit misplaced: + +.TP 3 +\(bu +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\&. + +.LP + +.PP +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) + +.SH "SEE ALSO" + +.PP +Documentation/filesystems/smbfs\&.txt in the linux kernel source tree may contain additional options and information\&. + +.PP +FreeBSD also has a smbfs, but it is not related to smbmount + +.PP +For Solaris, HP-UX and others you may want to look at \fBsmbsh\fR(1) or at other solutions, such as Sharity or perhaps replacing the SMB server with a NFS server\&. + +.SH "AUTHOR" + +.PP +Volker Lendecke, Andrew Tridgell, Michael H\&. Warfield and others\&. + +.PP +The current maintainer of smbfs and the userspace tools \fBsmbmount\fR, \fBsmbumount\fR, and \fBsmbmnt\fR is Urban Widmark\&. The SAMBA Mailing list is the preferred place to ask questions regarding these programs\&. + +.PP +The conversion of this manpage for Samba 2\&.2 was performed by Gerald Carter\&. The conversion to DocBook XML 4\&.2 for Samba 3\&.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy\&. + |
