	<title>DESCRIPTION</title>

	<para>With this program, normal users can unmount smb-filesystems, 
	provided that it is suid root.  <command>smbumount</command> has 
	been written to give normal Linux users more control over their 
	resources. It is safe to install this program suid root, because only 
	the user who has mounted a filesystem is allowed to unmount it again.  
	For root it is not necessary to use smbumount. The normal umount 
	program works perfectly well, but it would certainly be problematic 
	to make umount setuid root.</para>
