smbmnt
This is a low-level helper program for mounting smbfs filesystems. It used by smbmount to do the privileged part of the mount operation on behalf of an ordinary user. Generally, users should not run this command directly.
smbmnt mnt_point [options]-r
Mounts the filesystem as read-only.
-u
uid
Specifies the UID to use for the owner of the files.
-g
gid
Specifies the GID to use for the group of the files.
-f
mask
Specifies the octal file mask.
-d
mask
Specifies the octal directory mask.
-o
options
Specifies the list of options that are passed to the smbfs module.
To allow users to mount SMB shares without help from an administrator, set the “set user ID” permission on the smbmnt executable. However, note that this can raise security issues.
