is usually invoked as <B

the <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>mount(8)</B
> command when using the
"-t smbfs" option. This command only works in Linux, and the kernel must
support the smbfs filesystem. </P
><P
>Options to <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>smbmount</B
> 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.</P
><P
><B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>smbmount</B
> 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 <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>log.smbmount</TT
>. The
<B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>smbmount</B

like 10000ms (10 seconds) is probably more reasonable
in many cases.

><P
>Passwords and other options containing , can not be handled.
For passwords an alternative way of passing them is in a credentials
file or in the PASSWD environment.</P

leading space.</P
><P
>One smbfs bug is important enough to mention here, even if it
is a bit misplaced:</P
><P
></P
><UL
><LI
><P
>Mounts sometimes stop working. This is usually
caused by smbmount terminating. Since smbfs needs smbmount to
reconnect when the server disconnects, the mount will eventually go
dead. An umount/mount normally fixes this. At least 2 ways to
trigger this bug are known.</P
></LI
></UL
><P
>Note that the typical response to a bug report 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)</P
