It -is usually invoked as \fBmount.cifs\fR by -the \fBmount(8)\fR 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. -.PP -Options to \fBmount.cifs\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 cifs supports them. If -you get mount failures, check your kernel log for errors on -unknown options. -.PP -\fBmount.cifs\fR is a daemon. After mounting it keeps running until -the mounted cifs is umounted. It will log things that happen -when in daemon mode using the "machine name" mount.cifs, so -typically this output will end up in -\fIlog.mount.cifs\fR. -.SH "OPTIONS" -.TP -\fBusername=<arg>\fR -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 -\fBpassword=<arg>\fR -specifies the CIFS password. If this -option is not given then the environment variable -\fBPASSWD\fR is used. If it can find -no password \fBmount.cifs\fR will prompt -for a passeword, unless the guest option is -given. - -Note that password which contain the arguement 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 -\fBcredentials=<filename>\fR -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 -\fBuid=<arg>\fR -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 -\fBgid=<arg>\fR -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 -\fBport=<arg>\fR -sets the remote cifs port number. By default -port 445 is tried then if no response port 139 is tried. -.TP -\fBfmask=<arg>\fR -sets the file mask. This determines the -permissions that remote files have in the local filesystem. -The default is based on the current umask. -.TP -\fBdmask=<arg>\fR -sets the directory mask. This determines the -permissions that remote directories have in the local filesystem. -The default is based on the current umask. -.TP -\fBdebug=<arg>\fR -sets the debug level. This is useful for -tracking down cifs 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 -\fBip=<arg>\fR -sets the destination host or IP address. -.TP -\fBdomain=<arg>\fR -sets the domain (workgroup) of the user -.TP -\fBguest\fR -don't prompt for a password -.TP -\fBro\fR -mount read-only -.TP -\fBrw\fR -mount read-write -.TP -\fBiocharset=<arg>\fR -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 -\fBcodepage=<arg>\fR -sets the codepage the server uses. See the iocharset -option. Example value cp850. (Note: only kernel 2.4.0 -or later) -.TP -\fBttl=<arg>\fR -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 -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/cifs.txt in the linux kernel -source tree may contain additional options and information. -.SH "AUTHOR" -.PP -Steve French -The syntax and manpage were loosely based on that of smbmount. -.PP -The current maintainer of the Linux cifs vfs and the userspace -tool \fBmount.cifs\fR is Steve French <URL:mailto:sfrench@samba.org>. -The SAMBA Mailing list <URL:mailto:samba@samba.org> -is the preferred place to ask questions regarding these programs. |
