Lan Manager does not know anything about file +permissions. So smbmount has to be told which permissions it should +assign to the mounted files and direcories. The values have to 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 +can very well choose a file mode that tells that you have. This +certainly cannot override the restrictions imposed by the server. +.RE + + +.SH SEE ALSO +.B smbmount(8) + diff --git a/docs/manpages/smbmount.8 b/docs/manpages/smbmount.8 new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..f002cda027 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/manpages/smbmount.8 @@ -0,0 +1,32 @@ +.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.
