smbmnt 8 smbmnt helper utility for mounting SMB filesystems smbmnt mount-point -s <share> -r -u <uid> -g <gid> -f <mask> -d <mask> -o <options> 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. It checks whether the user has write permissions on the mount point and then mounts the directory. The smbmnt program is normally invoked by smbmount(8) . It should not be invoked directly by users. -r mount the filesystem read-only -u uid specify the uid that the files will be owned by -g gid specify the gid that the files will be owned by -f mask specify the octal file mask applied -d mask specify the octal directory mask applied -o options list of options that are passed as-is to smbfs, if this command is run on a 2.4 or higher linux kernel.

The SAMBA Mailing list is the preferred place to ask questions regarding these programs. The conversion of this manpage for Samba 2.2 was performed by Gerald Carter
