It
- is usually invoked as <code class="literal">mount.smbfs</code> 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>WARNING: <code class="literal">smbmount</code> is deprecated and not
- maintained any longer. <code class="literal">mount.cifs</code> (mount -t cifs)
- should be used instead of <code class="literal">smbmount</code>.</p><p>Options to <code class="literal">smbmount</code> 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><code class="literal">smbmount</code> 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 <code class="literal">
- smbmount</code> 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> <code class="literal">smbmount</code>
- 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 <code class="literal">smbmnt</code> is in the path so
- that it can be found. </p></div></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id266728"></a><h2>OPTIONS</h2><div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term">username=&lt;arg&gt;</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=&lt;arg&gt;</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
- <code class="literal">smbmount</code> will prompt for a password, 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=&lt;filename&gt;</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=&lt;arg&gt;</span></dt><dd><p>sets the source NetBIOS name. It defaults
- to the local hostname. </p></dd><dt><span class="term">uid=&lt;arg&gt;</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=&lt;arg&gt;</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=&lt;arg&gt;</span></dt><dd><p>sets the remote SMB port number. The default
- is 445, fallback is 139. </p></dd><dt><span class="term">fmask=&lt;arg&gt;</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=&lt;arg&gt;</span></dt><dd><p>Sets the directory mask. This determines the

- 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=&lt;arg&gt;</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

- 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=&lt;arg&gt;</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=&lt;arg&gt;</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="id307955"></a><h2>OTHER COMMANDS</h2><p>
- File systems that have been mounted using the <code class="literal">smbmount</code>
- can be unmounted using the <code class="literal">smbumount</code> or the UNIX system
- <code class="literal">umount</code> command.
- </p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id307984"></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="id308018"></a><h2>SEE ALSO</h2><p>Documentation/filesystems/smbfs.txt in the linux kernel
- source tree may contain additional options and information.</p><p>FreeBSD also has a smbfs, but it is not related to smbmount</p><p>For Solaris, HP-UX and others you may want to look at <a href="smbsh.1.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">smbsh</span>(1)</span></a> or at other solutions, such as
- Sharity or perhaps replacing the SMB server with a NFS server.</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id308046"></a><h2>AUTHOR</h2><p>Volker Lendecke, Andrew Tridgell, Michael H. Warfield
