It
+ is usually invoked as <span><strong class="command">mount.smbfs</strong></span> by
+ the <a href="mount.8.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">mount</span>(8)</span></a> 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 <span><strong class="command">smbmount</strong></span> 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><span><strong class="command">smbmount</strong></span> 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 <code class="filename">log.smbmount</code>. The <span><strong class="command">
+ smbmount</strong></span> process may also be called mount.smbfs.</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p> <span><strong class="command">smbmount</strong></span>
+ calls <a href="smbmnt.8.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">smbmnt</span>(8)</span></a> to do the actual mount. You
+ must make sure that <span><strong class="command">smbmnt</strong></span> is in the path so
+ that it can be found. </p></div></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id2450658"></a><h2>OPTIONS</h2><div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term">username=<arg></span></dt><dd><p>
+ specifies the username to connect as. If this is not given, then the environment variable <code class="envar"> USER</code>
+ 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.
+ </p></dd><dt><span class="term">password=<arg></span></dt><dd><p>
+ specifies the SMB password. If this option is not given then the environment
+ variable <code class="literal">PASSWD</code> is used. If it can find no password
+ <span><strong class="command">smbmount</strong></span> will prompt for a passeword, unless the guest option is given.
+ </p><p>
+ Note that passwords which contain the argument delimiter character (i.e. a comma ',') will failed to be parsed
+ correctly on the command line. However, the same password defined in the PASSWD environment variable or a
+ credentials file (see below) will be read correctly.
+ </p></dd><dt><span class="term">credentials=<filename></span></dt><dd><p>specifies a file that contains a username and/or password.
+The format of the file is:
+</p><pre class="programlisting">
+username = <value>
+password = <value>
+</pre><p>This is preferred over having passwords in plaintext in a
+ shared file, such as <code class="filename">/etc/fstab</code>. Be sure to protect any
+ credentials file properly.
+ </p></dd><dt><span class="term">krb</span></dt><dd><p>Use kerberos (Active Directory). </p></dd><dt><span class="term">netbiosname=<arg></span></dt><dd><p>sets the source NetBIOS name. It defaults
+ to the local hostname. </p></dd><dt><span class="term">uid=<arg></span></dt><dd><p>sets the uid that will own all files on
+ the mounted filesystem.
+ It may be specified as either a username or a numeric uid.
+ </p></dd><dt><span class="term">gid=<arg></span></dt><dd><p>sets the gid that will own all files on
+ the mounted filesystem.
+ It may be specified as either a groupname or a numeric
+ gid. </p></dd><dt><span class="term">port=<arg></span></dt><dd><p>sets the remote SMB port number. The default
+ is 445, fallback is 139. </p></dd><dt><span class="term">fmask=<arg></span></dt><dd><p>sets the file mask. This determines the
+ permissions that remote files have in the local filesystem.
+ This is not a umask, but the actual permissions for the files.
+ The default is based on the current umask. </p></dd><dt><span class="term">dmask=<arg></span></dt><dd><p>Sets the directory mask. This determines the
+ permissions that remote directories have in the local filesystem.
+ This is not a umask, but the actual permissions for the directories.
+ The default is based on the current umask. </p></dd><dt><span class="term">debug=<arg></span></dt><dd><p>Sets the debug level. This is useful for
+ tracking down SMB connection problems. A suggested value to
+ start with is 4. If set too high there will be a lot of
+ output, possibly hiding the useful output.</p></dd><dt><span class="term">ip=<arg></span></dt><dd><p>Sets the destination host or IP address.
+ </p></dd><dt><span class="term">workgroup=<arg></span></dt><dd><p>Sets the workgroup on the destination </p></dd><dt><span class="term">sockopt=<arg></span></dt><dd><p>Sets the TCP socket options.

+ 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)
+ </p></dd><dt><span class="term">codepage=<arg></span></dt><dd><p>
+ sets the codepage the server uses. See the iocharset
+ option. Example value cp850. (Note: only kernel 2.4.0
+ or later)
+ </p></dd><dt><span class="term">ttl=<arg></span></dt><dd><p>
+ sets 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)

+ 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.</p><p>The variable <code class="envar">PASSWD</code> 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.</p><p>The variable <code class="envar">PASSWD_FILE</code> may contain the pathname
+ of a file to read the password from. A single line of input is
+ read and used as the password.</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id2451110"></a><h2>OTHER COMMANDS</h2><p>
+ File systems that have been mounted using the <span><strong class="command">smbmount</strong></span>
+ can be unmounted using the <span><strong class="command">smbumount</strong></span> or the UNIX system
+ <span><strong class="command">umount</strong></span> command.
+ </p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id2450061"></a><h2>BUGS</h2><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><p>The credentials file does not handle usernames or passwords with
+ leading space.</p><p>One smbfs bug is important enough to mention here, even if it
+ is a bit misplaced:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><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></div><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></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id2450103"></a><h2>SEE ALSO</h2><p>Documentation/filesystems/smbfs.txt in the linux kernel
