smbmount

Name

smbmount -- mount and smbfs filesystem

Synopsis

smbumount {service} {mount-point} [-o options]

DESCRIPTION

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.

OPTIONS

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.

specifies the SMB password. If not given then smbmount will prompt for a passeword, unless the guest option is given.
