smbmnt {mount-point} [-s <share>] [-r] [-u <uid>] [-g <gid>] [-f <mask>] [-d <mask>] [-o <options>]Options to smbmount are specified as a comma separated list - of key=value pairs.
Options to smbmount are specified as a comma separated + list of key=value pairs. It is possible to send options other + than those listed here, assuming that smbfs supports them. If + you get mount failures, check your kernel log for errors on + unknown options.smbmount is a daemon. After mounting it keeps running until + the mounted smbfs is umounted. It will log things that happen + when in daemon mode using the "machine name" smbmount, so + typically this output will end up in log.smbmount. The + smbmount process may also be called mount.smbfs.
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
+ 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
- specifies the SMB password. If this
+ option is not given then the environment variable
+ PASSWD is used. If it can find
+ no password smbmount will prompt for a passeword, unless
- the guest option is given. specifies a file that contains a username
+ and/or password. The format of the file is: This is preferred over having passwords in plaintext in a
+ shared file, such as /etc/fstab. Be sure to protect any
+ credentials file properly.
+ sets the uid that files will be mounted as.
+>sets the uid that will own all files on
+ the mounted filesystem.
It may be specified as either a username or a numeric uid.
sets the gid that files will be mounted as.
+>sets the gid that will own all files on
+ the mounted filesystem.
It may be specified as either a groupname or a numeric
gid. mount read-write sets the charset used by the linux side for codepage
+ to charset translations (NLS). Argument should be the
+ name of a charset, like iso8859-1. (Note: only kernel
+ 2.4.0 or later)
+ sets the codepage the server uses. See the iocharset
+ option. Example value cp850. (Note: only kernel 2.4.0
+ or later)
+ how long a directory listing is cached in milliseconds
+ (also affects visibility of file size and date
+ changes). A higher value means that changes on the
+ server take longer to be noticed but it can give
+ better performance on large directories, especially
+ over long distances. Default is 1000ms but something
+ like 10000ms (10 seconds) is probably more reasonable
+ in many cases.
+ (Note: only kernel 2.4.2 or later)

The variable USER may contain the username of the + person using the client. This information is used only if the + protocol level is high enough to support session-level + passwords. The variable can be used to set both username and + password by using the format username%password.
The variable PASSWD may contain the password of the + person using the client. This information is used only if the + protocol level is high enough to support session-level + passwords.
The variable PASSWD_FILE may contain the pathname of + a file to read the password from. A single line of input is + read and used as password.
Not many known smbmount bugs. But one smbfs bug is + important enough to mention here anyway:
Mounts sometimes stop working. This is usually + caused by smbmount terminating. Since smbfs needs smbmount to + reconnect when the server disconnects, the mount will go + dead. A re-mount normally fixes this. At least 2 ways to + trigger this bug are known.
Note that the typical response to a bugreport is suggestion + to try the latest version first. So please try doing that first, + and always include which versions you use of relevant software + when reporting bugs (minimum: samba, kernel, distribution)
