smbmount 8 smbmount mount and smbfs filesystem smbumount service mount-point -o options smbmount mounts a SMB filesystem. It is usually invoked as mount.smb from the mount(8) command when using the "-t smb" option. The kernel must support the smbfs filesystem. Options to smbmount are specified as a comma separated list of key=value pairs. NOTE: smbmount calls smbmnt(8) to do the actual mount. You must make sure that smbmnt is in the path so that it can be found. username=<arg> specifies the username to connect as. If this is not given then the environment variable $USER 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. password=<arg> specifies the SMB password. If not given then smbmount will prompt for a passeword, unless the guest option is given. netbiosname=<arg> sets the source NetBIOS name. It defaults to the local hostname. uid=<arg> sets the uid that files will be mounted as. It may be specified as either a username or a numeric uid. gid=<arg> sets the gid that files will be mounted as. It may be specified as either a groupname or a numeric gid. port=<arg> sets the remote SMB port number. The default is 139. fmask=<arg> sets the file mask. This determines the permissions that remote files have in the local filesystem. The default is based on the current umask. dmask=<arg> sets the directory mask. This deterines the permissions that remote directories have in the local filesystem. The default is based on the current umask. debug=<arg> sets the debug level. This is useful for tracking down SMB connection problems. ip=<arg> sets the destination host or IP address. workgroup=<arg> sets the workgroup on the destination sockopt=<arg> sets the TCP socket options. See the smb.conf socket options option. scope=<arg> sets the NetBIOS scope guest don't prompt for a password ro mount read-only rwmount read-write The current maintainer of smbfs and the userspace tools smbmount, smbumount, and smbmnt is Urban Widmark The conversion of this manpage for Samba 2.2 was performed by Gerald Carter
