I don't know if I'm doing it correct. I'm using a bash script to help 
user mount the CIFS share like this:

sudo mount.cifs //fileserver/management/ ${HOME}/fileserver/management 
-o user=${USER},password=$userPass,uid=$UID,rw,mand

Could you give me an example on using Samba/CIFS tools?

my typo. I want make clear so I change the group name to managegroup. 
The actual group name it the same "managment" which I think may cause 
confusion when I post my question. Sorry.

Bets Regards.
