.SH "DESCRIPTION"

.PP
\fBsmbmnt\fR is a helper application used by the smbmount program to do the actual mounting of SMB shares\&.\fBsmbmnt\fR can be installed setuid root if you want normal users to be able to mount their SMB shares\&.

.PP
A setuid smbmnt will only allow mounts on directories owned by the user, and that the user has write permission on\&.

The \fBsmbmnt\fR program is normally invoked by \fBsmbmount\fR(8)\&. It should not be invoked directly by users\&.
