DESCRIPTION

     The mount_smbfs command mounts a share from a remote server using
     SMB/CIFS protocol.

     The options are as follows:

     -I host
             Do not use NetBIOS name resolver and connect directly to host,
             which can be either a valid DNS name or an IP address.

     -M cmode[/smode]
             Assign access rights to the newly created connection.

     -N      Do not ask for a password.  At run time, mount_smbfs reads the
             ~/.nsmbrc file for additional configuration parameters and a
             password.  If no password is found, mount_smbfs prompts for it.

     -O cowner[:cgroup]/sowner[:sgroup]
             Assign owner/group attributes to the newly created connection.

     -R retrycount
             How many retries should be done before the SMB requester decides
             to drop the connection.

     -T timeout
             Timeout in seconds for each request.

     -U user
             Specifies the user name to be used in the authentication request.

     -W workgroup
             Specifies the workgroup to be used in the authentication request.

     -f mode, -d mode
             Specify permissions that should be assigned to files and directo-
             ries.  The values must be specified as octal numbers.  Default
             value for the file mode is taken from mount point, default value
             for the directory mode adds execute permission where the file
             mode gives read permission.

             Note that these permissions can differ from the rights granted by
             SMB server.

     -h      Prints a help message, much like the SYNOPSIS above.

     -n opt  Set opt option to affect file name lookups.  opt can be one of
             the following:
             be specified here.  If user is omitted the logged in user id will
             be used.  Omitting share is an error when mount_smbfs is run from
             the command line, otherwise a browsing dialogue is presented.

     path    Path to mount point.

FILES

     ~/.nsmbrc  Keeps static parameters for connections and other information.
                See ./examples/dot.nsmbrc for details.

EXAMPLES

     The following example illustrates how to connect to SMB server SAMBA as
     user GUEST to mount PUBLIC:

           mount_smbfs -I samba.mydomain.com //guest@samba/public /smb/public
