NAME
       smbmount - mount an SMB filesystem


SYNOPSIS
       smbmount service mountpoint [ -o options ]

DESCRIPTION
       smbmount mounts a SMB filesystem. It is usually invoked as
       mount.smbfs from the mount(8) command when using	 the  "-t
       smbfs"  option. The kernel must support the smbfs filesys-
       tem.

       Options to smbmount are specified  as  a	 comma	separated
       list of key=value pairs.

       NOTE:  smbmount	calls  smbmnt 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%pass-
	      word 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  smb-
	      mount 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 deterines 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 permis-
	      sions  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


       rw     mount read-write
