	<title>DESCRIPTION</title>

	<para><command>smbmnt</command> is a helper application used 
	by the smbmount program to do the actual mounting of SMB shares. 
	<command>smbmnt</command> can be installed setuid root if you want
	normal users to be able to mount their SMB shares.</para>

	<para>A setuid smbmnt will only allow mounts on directories owned
	by the user, and that the user has write permission on.</para>

	<para>The <command>smbmnt</command> program is normally invoked 
	by <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbmount</refentrytitle>
	<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>. It should not be invoked directly by users. </para>

	<para>smbmount searches the normal PATH for smbmnt. You must ensure
	that the smbmnt version in your path matches the smbmount used.</para>
