At run time, .Nm reads the .Pa ~/Library/Preferences/nsmb.conf file for additional configuration parameters and a password. If no password is found, .Nm prompts for it. .It Fl o Options passed to .Xr mount 2 are specified with the .Fl o option followed by a comma separated string of options. See the .Xr mount 8 man page for possible options and their meanings. Additional options supported by the mount_smbfs are as follows: .Bl -tag -width indent .It nobrowse Indicate to the Carbon subsystem that this volume is not to be displayed to the user. .It automounted Set flags on the mountpoint to indicate that the volume has been mounted by the automounter. .It nostreams Don't use NTFS Streams even if they are supported by the server. .It soft Make the mount soft. Fail file system calls after a number of seconds. .It nonotification Turn off using notifications for this volume. .El .It Fl f Ar mode , Fl d Ar mode Specify permissions that should be assigned to files and directories. 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. .Pp Note that these permissions can differ from the rights granted by SMB server. .It Fl h Prints a help message, much like the SYNOPSIS above. .\" //[domain;][user[:password]@]server[/share] .It Xo .Pf // Oo Ar domain ; .Oc Ns Oo Ar user Ns Oo .Pf \: Ar password .Oc Ns @ Ns Oc Ar server Ns Oo .Pf / Ar share .Oc .Xc The .Nm command will use .Ar server as the NetBIOS name of remote computer, .Ar user as the remote user name and .Ar share as the resource name on a remote server. .Ar Domain and/or .Ar password may be specified here. If .Ar user is omitted the logged in user id will be used. Omitting .Ar share is an error when .Nm is run from the command line, otherwise a browsing dialogue is presented. .It Ar path Path to mount point. .El .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width ".Pa nsmb.conf" -compact .It Pa nsmb.conf Keeps static parameters for connections and other information. See .Pa man nsmb.conf for details. .El .Sh EXAMPLES This example shows the proper url to use to mount the share PUBLIC from the SMB server myserver: .Bd -literal -offset indent mkdir /smb/public mount -t smbfs //username:userpass@myserver/PUBLIC /smb/public .Ed This example shows the proper url to use to mount the share PUBLIC from the SMB server myserver as guest: .Bd -literal -offset indent mkdir /smb/public mount -t smbfs //guest:@myserver/PUBLIC /smb/public .Ed .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr mount 2 , .Xr nsmb.conf 5 , .Xr mount 8 , .Xr umount 8 .Sh BUGS Please report bugs to Apple. .Sh AUTHORS .An Boris Popov Aq bp@butya.kz , .Aq bp@FreeBSD.org
