====== Smbmount ======

=====Mount a Windows Share in Linux=====
Example:
 smbmount <nowiki>//</nowiki>ecenotes/et4757 /home/steviewdr/map_folder -oip=136.201.5.149,username=staff\\stephen.burke

Example: Mount a share under a Particular User (uid), or Group (gid),
 smbmount <nowiki>//</nowiki>ecenotes/et4757 /home/steviewdr/map_folder -oip=136.201.5.149,username=staff\\stephen.burke,uid=####

Misc:<br>
 nmblookup -U dns_server -R computer_name

To unmount the share:
 smbumount /folder/share

===== Problems with smbmnt =====
Recently, after an apt-get upgrade, I received the following:
 sburke@server:~$ smbmount <nowiki>//</nowiki>eceweb/ngcuv08 /home/steviewdr/mount -oip=193.1.97.72,username=ul\\stephen.burke
 Password:
 smbmnt must be installed suid root for direct user mounts (2745,2745)
 smbmnt failed: 1

After some googling, the following resolved the issue:
 root@skynet:~# chmod +s /usr/bin/smbmnt
