NAME
       smbmnt - helper utility for mounting SMB filesystems


SYNOPSIS
       smbmnt mount-point [ -s share ] [ -r ] [ -u uid ] [ -g gid
       ] [ -f mask ] [ -d mask ]


DESCRIPTION
       smbmnt is a helper application used by the  smbmount  pro-
       gram  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. 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
