systems or Samba servers) in your Linux filesystem. A typical
smbmount command might look something like this:
smbmount //maya/d d -o credentials=/home/jay/.smbpw,uid=jay,gid=jay,fmask=664,dmask=775
This mounts the \\maya\d share on the directory named d in the current
working directory on the Linux system. Authentication credentials
(username, password) are kept in /home/jay/.smbpw. This method is
a little more secure than putting the password in plaintext on the
command line(!). The rest of the options are for specifying what UID,
GID and permissions to give to the files in the mounted share.
See the smbmount manual page for more details.
